Sensors, Actuators
Integrating vibration analysis devices with pumps, motors, compressors
An effective vibration measuring program can reduce downtime for manufacturers, but some tools are better situated for certain scenarios, and users should assess application needs and the situation.
Benefits of non-invasive measurement in manufacturing applications
While thermowells are often used in process safety measuring, non-invasive measuring can offer many benefits and improved results.
Vibration tests boost electric aircraft project
NASA carried out extensive ground vibration tests for its X-57 "Maxwell" electric aircraft, simulating the stresses it would experience during a real flight.
Smart sensor, compressed air monitoring helps Colgate-Palmolive with net zero carbon target
Emerson’s sensors and analytics help Colgate-Palmolive save energy and optimize production processes in manufacturing facilities, decreasing its carbon footprint. Other Emerson technologies applied to food processing and packaging were shown at Pack Expo Las Vegas, including controls, augmented reality, and pneumatics.
Flowmeters enable energy management
Building owners, manufacturers and institutions must seek ways to make their facilities more energy efficient with less environmental impact.
Ferrimagnet control for faster data storage, smaller sensors
MIT researchers have developed a way of rapidly switching the magnetic polarity of a ferrimagnet 180 degrees with a small applied voltage, which could help improve data storage and create smaller sensors.
New hydraulic actuator designs offer zero emission options
Compressor stations often employ automated valves activated using pressurized natural gas, requiring improved actuator designs to eliminate emissions.
Reliable multipoint temperature profiling in hydro-processing units
Advanced temperature measurement technology leads to cleaner, safer, and more profitable downstream operations.
Flowmeter sensors
Ideally suited for measuring the flows of conductive liquids, as well as for volume measurement of water and corrosive liquids.
Water detection monitoring sensors
The Zone Water Detection Sensor detects the widespread presence of water in areas like floors or drop ceilings.
