What is Fail Safe Condition in Pressure Switches ?
The resistor circuit according to NAMUR offers an additional diagnostic function (“fail-safe”) with short-circuit and cable break detection, which is of special interest for safety-critical systems such as braking systems, hydrostatic steering systems, fire extinguishing systems or automated control valves. According to DIN EN 60947-5-6 (VDE 0660 part 212), NAMUR is a switching contact with […]
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 […]
