Conductive plastic sensors - Import export

Rapid developments in the fields of control engineering and in microprocessor and semiconductor technology have resulted in the widespread use of electronically controlled systems in every branch of industry today. This has created a need for sensors that are inexpensive but, at the same time, sufficiently robust, both electrically and mechanically, to withstand a wide range of temperatures (e.g. from -40 to +160 degrees centigrade), particularly in applications involving large quantities, such as the automobile industry. Fig. 1 provides a summary of the various types of sensors for angular and linear motion that are in use today. This paper is concerned with quality criteria (1) and (2) applicable to conductive-plastic potentiometers for use as sensors for angular and linear motion. Such potentiometers essentially comprise the following components: 1. The resistance element (support material + a resistance track of conductive plastic) 2. A wiper (precious metal alloy) 3. A...

Conductive plastic and Hall rotary sensors and encoders to determine an angular position. Our potentiometers and membrane sensors are also custom-made to your requirements.

The MSC controllers are designed to be operated with LVDT and LDR measuring gauges and displacement sensors. Due to the robust and compact aluminum housing, the controllers are ideal for industrial measurement tasks. A large variety of compatible, inductive displacement sensors and gauges combined with an optimized price/performance ratio opens up multiple fields of applications in automation technology and machine building.
