The Eurotherm E Power is an advanced Thyristor (SCR) designed to control system power load management within high-powered applications, such as electrified furnaces and heating applications.

Monitoring individual equipment in massive industrial spaces or those hard-to-reach locations can be a tedious and time-consuming process that may involve numerous man hours to complete.These industries include agricultural sites, mining facilities, environmental monitoring, and construction. You may need to track sensors from reservoirs, water tanks or mobile moving machineries to ensure they are fully functioning as intended, but being physically present onsite may not always be possible. This kind of job is what Twin Link point-to-point (P2P) wireless system is built for. If this sounds

A common misconception that arises from time to time is a misunderstanding of the relationship and function of Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLC, and Proportional Integral Derivative Controllers, PID controllers. These two systems will monitor and control industrial automation; however, it is often assumed that both systems can perform the same function. Although this is true in some instances, the output quality can differ significantly where precision and quality control are required. So, what’s the difference between a PLC & a PID controller? PLC: Programmable Logic Controllers

A load cell is a device that converts force into electrical signals. They are considered transducers as they convert one form of energy into another.CURIOTEC manufactures and designs different types of load cells listed below, which ADM stocks. There are, however, industrial and heavy-duty types of CURIOTEC load cells that are only available via special order. Please contact our team if you cannot find a suitable type for your requirements. S-type Load Cell Sometimes referred to as S type, S beam or S load cells, are used to measure both tension and compression forces, and are named after

A linear potentiometer is a type of position sensor that measures and converts mechanical movement into electrical output.CURIOTEC designs and manufactures linear potentiometers, such as the CLPS series, that are suitable for industrial applications where precise placement input is critical. They are useful in automotive, medical, agricultural, robotics, railway, manufacturing, and more. How does a Linear Potentiometer Work? Linear potentiometers have two elements that enable measurement of displacement – the sliding element (potential divider or voltage divider), and the resisting element

CURIOTEC manufactures a range of weighing indicators and load cell controllers that complement its transducers and weighing instruments. CURIOTEC Weighing Indicators and Controllers A load cell weighing indicator is a device that displays the weight of an item in digital values. It works as a connected accessory to a weighing scale that uses load cells for weight measurement. The data taken from this device can be used for decision-making processes. On the other hand, a load cell controller is a device that processes the electrical signals from a load cell to provide measurements in values

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.

Monitran’s Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is a highly accurate displacement measurement device designed to measure linear displacement - in other words, how far something moves in a straight line. Due to its reliability, durability and precision, the LVDT remains a popular choice for displacement measurement across industrial monitoring and control applications. Monitran offers four main series of LVDTs, each designed for specific needs: Industrial series – The Industrial Series LVDT is built to endure the harshness of the industrial plant environments. Featuring a robust

Harting manufactures diverse types of contacts – screw, crimp, cage-clamp, solder (circular), axial and IDC.The most common termination techniques apply to Harting Han connectors and can be used in various industrial applications. Choosing the right technique depends on the type of cable, cable cross-section, as well as the number and type of contacts, as they offer different advantages for varying production conditions. The main difference between contact and termination is that contact is the product, whereas termination is the method of using the contacts. Common Types of Harting

Harting inserts are components used in industrial connectors to facilitate the transmission of data, signals, and power.Inserts are structurally designed to have male and female compatible counterparts. Male inserts typically have pins that protrude and fit into the corresponding female inserts. Female inserts, on the other hand, have sockets that receive the pins from the male inserts. The design ensures a snug fit to secure and maintain stable electrical connection. Male and female inserts come with either screw, crimp, or cage-clamp terminal. Both male and female inserts are often made from
