stages

PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a unique planar XY-theta-Z nanopositioning stage based on air bearings and direct drive motors. Unlike conventional multi-axis stages, the A-361 employs only one moving platform shared among all three axes. One of its advantages is the ultra-low profile of only 40 mm, despite featuring an integrated vacuum chuck to accommodate […]

Position sensors with 400 °F temperature range tolerate temperature spikes

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

position sensor

NewTek Sensor Solutions offers several LVDTs with an extended 400 °F temperature range for use in applications where temperature spikes are possible. The high-temperature, ac-operated position transducers ensure reliable position measurement without failure in applications with fluctuating temperatures where standard-temperature sensors can fail, due to deteriorating insulation and intermittent connections. For example, standard-temperature position sensors […]
