================================================
This is the first
bi-monthly newsletter giving you some of the latest
news on products from the World of Sensors and Measurement
Systems.
NEW PRODUCT
RELEASES
=====================
1). 
- Linear potentiometers measure
10 to 100mm.
Complementing the SLS (Sealed Linear Sensor) range,
the SLS095 sensor comes with reduced costs and delivery
times.
The new potentiometer, which is the size of an average pen, will
offer 1P50 and 1P66 sealing options and stroke lengths of 10mm,
20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm. Three mounting
options are available, all fitted with a 3-core PUR cable. Two
are
plain body versions that can be ordered with either a flange
mounting kit or body clamp mountings

2).
- Pressure transducer in the fast lane.
Keller's latest Series 21SC pressure transducer has
been designed for the demanding world of autosport.
With its very low mass and construction to withstand the tough
conditions, the transducer is ideal for measuring engine, brake
and gearbox pressures on all types of racing vehicles.
The lightweight and compact transducer has a hermetically all
welded construction for maximum robustness and will operate
successfully in high vibration environments over a wide
temperature range of -20 to +120ºC to an accuracy of 1.5%
total error band.

3).
- 50-tonne 'Pancake' Load Cell.
Control Transducers' Model PC Low-Profile 'Pancake'
load cell has been extended from 25kg to a new high of
50 tonnes in 11 load ranges.
The units boast non-linearity of 0.1%, non-repeatability of 0.07%
and a compensated temperature range of -10°C to +50°C.
Multiple load cells can be connected in parallel to read total
weight,
avoiding load cell balancing.
The load cell body is sealed to lP67 and its low height makes
installation below hoppers and tanks considerably easier.

4).
- Gems Sensors new low cost Level measurement.
Gems Sensors has dramatically cut the cost of level
switches, through increased production efficiencies
and the use of cost-effective components.
The result is Gems Sensors' LS-2 polypropylene liquid level switch
designed specifically for high volume, low cost applications.
Suitable
for use with water anti chemicals, the unit's compact size makes
it
ideal for shallow tanks or restricted spaces.

5). - Ring Laser Gyro
Inertial Measurement System.
Inertial Aerosystems have introduced a new, compact,
six axis, inertial measurement unit manufactured by U.S
based Honeywell, and representing a cost breakthrough
in Ring Laser Gyro technology.
Designated the HG 1700, it is designed for full motion measurement
of land vehicles, aeroplanes and underwater craft etc and can
be
used in combination with a GPS navigator for extended performance.
