roblems associated with traditional dissolved oxygen sensing systems can now be eliminated
using ABB’s new optical dissolved oxygen sensing system. Consistent, reliable and accurate, it can help operators to realise significant savings through reduced energy consumption and maintenance. Comprised of the ADS430 sensor and multi- channel transmitter, the system provides the highest levels of stability and accuracy for dissolved oxygen measurement. The ADS430 optical dissolved oxygen sensor uses Rugged Dissolved Oxygen (RDO®)* optical technology for measuring dissolved oxygen in the most demanding process environments. The RDO technology, which has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), uses the dynamic luminescence quenching technique. Comprised of a sensor and multi-channel transmitter, it works on the frequency domain method and provides the highest levels of stability and accuracy for dissolved oxygen measurement.

urtiss-Wright Corporation today announced that its Industrial division has launched a new family of non-
contact, rotary position sensors from the legacy brand of Penny & Giles. With a low-profile sensor body design and a small footprint,
these fully-encapsulated, IP69K-rated
sensors offer exceptional performance against water, dust, shock, vibration, and temperature. The NRH271 and NRH272 rotary position sensors are ideal for use by OEMs of on- and off-highway vehicles that are destined for use in challenging environments, and as a cost-effective solution for medium volume applications where a wide range of options or degree of customization may be required. All variants of the NRH271 and NRH272 rotary position sensors are contained in a 9.5mm housing and use proven, wear-free Hall-effect sensing technology to provide a long mechanical life.

PSE570 Series pressure sensor from SMC S
MC, the worldwide leading expert in pneumatics, has designed an easy to install pressure sensor for non-corrosive gas or liquids that reduces operating costs. The PSE570 is suitable for a wide range of applications such as liquid coolant pressure control, discharge pressure control for compressors and suction verification of work pieces containing moisture. It has been designed with efficiency in mind and is very quick and simple to wire thanks to its M12 connector. Able to withstand unexpected surges in pressure, up to three times greater than the rated pressure, the PSE570 is also able to cope
with sudden voltages as high as 500 V AC, reducing the risk of damage and extending its operating life. A spokesman for SMC said: “By listening to our customers, we’ve been able to develop an easy- to-use pressure sensor for general purpose fluids. The PSE570 lasts longer than other sensors of its kind and is simple to connect, making it a very versatile product and a great addition to our existing sensor range.”

PCB®
launches smallest ICP® high temperature triaxial accelerometer
S
ICK has extended its family of compact ultrasonic detectors with the introduction of
the UM12, UC30-2 and the UC4-Fast sensors, offering enhanced performance capability as part of the company’s distance sensor portfolio.
The sensors extend SICK’s ultrasonic range, providing faster response speeds and detection of a wide range of shapes, independent of gloss, colour, transparency, reflectivity or ambient light and climatic conditions.
Ideal for a wide range of duties from presence/absence and rip detection to level and diameter control, the sensors find applications in positioning and safety, packaging and finished goods handling storage and warehousing, conveying and bulk handling duties.
“SICK has drawn from wide customer experience to expand the potential industry applications for its ultrasonic sensor family significantly.
12 NOVEMBER 2015 | DESIGN SOLUTIONS The three compact models now
cover virtually every requirement and at competitive prices,” comments Darren Pratt, SICK (UK) distance sensor specialist.
“As well as performing to the same high standard, the UM12, UC30-2 and the UC4-Fast complement each other,
offering a broad
applications capability, based on the same robust sensing technology with IP67 protection and a - 25oC to +70oC temperature range.”
The 12mm diameter SICK UM12 ultrasonic sensor is the smallest on the market, enabling it to be sited in the tightest of spaces. The UM12 is available in two lengths, 55mm and 60mm, depending on whether the digital switch or analogue model is selected. There is a choice of PNP/NPN switching and the sensor is taught via a signal wire.

pressure, and force sensors has launched a new triaxial ICP®accelerometer that is the world’s smallest capable of operation to 180°C. The HT356B01 will operate to 180°C with a 6.35mm 1.0gram cube titanium housing. The hermetically sealed accelerometer is compatible with an ICP® (IEPE) signal conditioner or readout device. Its high temperature capability makes it ideal for use numerous applications including gas turbine component qualification,
P measurements – structural vibration, ESS,
engine vibration noise
vibration and harshness and high temperature vibration measurements where there are space restrictions.
Additional highlights include
measurement range of ±1,000g peak and high 10,000g overload limit. An integral 1.5m cable to 4- pin connector and extension cable to three BNC plugs complete the package.
