Sensors, Actuators
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.
Screening vibration sensor system
A screening vibration sensor system featuring batteryless technology, long-range sensor-to-gateway communication and more.
Flow measurement technology advances
Constant temperature and power anemometry advances in flow measurement technology are allowing process engineers to do more than ever before with process instrumentation.
Service ball valves
Valves engineered specifically for isolation in vent and drain valve applications in the power industry.
Metamaterial reconfigured to modify its thermal, electromagnetic properties
The metamaterial is made using 3D printing technologies, which allows engineers to create networks of tiny tubes, known as microvasculature, that can be incorporated into a range of structural composites.
Actuators explained: Types of actuators, application choice, maintenance
Actuators used in industrial and other applications require careful analysis of the requirements before choosing the right actuator for the application.
