A linear potentiometer is a type of position sensor that measures and converts mechanical movement into electrical output.

Eddy current probes are non-contact sensors that use electromagnetic principles to measure distance and detect vibration in conductive materials. Monitran’s eddy current probes are ruggedly built and rigorously tested to withstand harsh conditions.

Harting manufactures diverse types of contacts – screw, crimp, cage-clamp, solder (circular), axial and IDC.

Harting hoods and housings are designed to protect the connections against environmental factors, such as shocks, humidity, dust, water or other fluids like oil, cleaning agents, gas, and coolants.

Harting manufactures a wide range of accessories to complement their industrial connectors. They are designed to enhance the functionality, durability, and ease of use of Harting connectors and systems. 

Machines communicate through vibrations, but raw sensor data doesn't tell the whole story. Monitran's systems do more than just measure – they interpret vibration patterns, display real-time values, continuously monitor machinery and take action during dangerous vibration levels.

Working in some industries such as supply chain, logistics, transportation, or the agricultural sector will require managing weight data on a regular basis. This data can be used for future process improvement or cost-effective analysis; however, it is often left unused in spreadsheets.

Here in Australia, land transportation accounts for over 80% of shipment – with railways transporting most of the bulk goods.  

Along with infrastructure limitations and strict regulations, you also need to assess the carrier’s height and width, and most importantly, the maximum weight capacity to ensure the truck’s/container’s clearance and safety.

Retrofitting with Invertek’s Optidrive P2 drive allows for flexible and efficient operation of Permanent Magnet (PM) and Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. These motor types provide higher efficiency and lower operating costs than induction motors, especially in high-torque, low-speed applications.
