What type of signal does a pressure sensor use?
Millivolt Output Pressure Transducers Transducers with millivolt output are normally the most economical pressure transducers. The output of the millivolt transducer is nominally around 30mV. The actual output is directly proportional to the pressure transducer input power or excitation. If the excitation fluctuates, the output will change also. Because of this dependence on the excitation […]
What is a pressure transducer?
A pressure transducer, also known as a pressure sensor or pressure transmitter, is a device used to measure and convert pressure (force per unit area) into an electrical signal that can be read, recorded, or processed by instruments and control systems. Pressure transducers are used in a wide range of industrial, automotive and aerospace applications […]
Silicon-on-Sapphire-Pressure-Sensing-Technology
Silicon on Sapphire Technology Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) technology was initially utilized in the advancement of high temperature integrated circuits for the NASA space program. ESI has taken this technology and developed a sensor that is capable of accurately measuring vibration, torque, force or pressure in extreme temperatures over long periods of time. The big advantage of […]
What is Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor (SOS) Technology?
SOS Technology-What is it? How and why is it used? The combination of Silicon and sapphire provides a very durable sensor. Since the silicon is grown onto the surface of the sapphire, it is incredibly stable and exhibits virtually no hysteresis. With its outstanding insulation properties, the sapphire protects the strain gauge from electromagnetic pulse […]
