OEM SENSORS

Durham Instruments is proud to be the exclusive Canadian Distributor
for Schaevitz Sensors. Schaevitz Sensors designs, manufactures, and
markets low to medium volume, rugged industrial OEM sensors, with a
wide choice of proven sensors for linear and rotary position, pressure,
slope/tilt, dimensional gaging, associated instrumentation and
customized systems.

Biaxial inclination OEM sensors use 2 pieces of basic cells. The sensor
works in the way that an electrolytical fluid is formed out by applying
an AC-voltage on the planar electrode structures. By tilting the
sensor, the fluid level over the different electrodes and in
consequence the conductance of the stray field changes. Using a
difference measurement principle, the tilt angle and the tilt direction
can be measured. With a special electrode and circuit design the
temperature coefficient is almost completely compensated.

The Massa Ultrasonic Ranging Module is a precision electronic
measurement device which includes an interface electronics module and
one or two ultrasonic transducers, depending on the model selected. The
Ultrasonic Ranging Module provides the OEM sensors market with a PWMLATCH output
pulse, whose duration is proportional to the time required for the
sound to travel between the transmit and receive transducers. The LATCH
pulse width may be processed through additional circuitry for
applications requiring position, level, profile, or thickness
measurements.
