Force Measurement in Linear Drives
Chaz Marsinick | ForceA transformation is currently taking place: Linear drives are taking the place of pneumatic and hydraulic drives, and there is no longer any scope for measuring pressure. However, WIKA has another solution: force measurement. Electrical propulsion technology is …
Pressure Transmitter Accuracy and Pressure Transmitter Non-Linearity: Not the Same Thing
Robert Lukat | Know-howSometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter’s response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn’t be used interchangeably. The …
Hydraulic Brake Pressure Switches for Industrial Vehicles
Jeff Placek | PressureWIKA USA manufactures a high-quality compact pressure switch that is ideal for hydraulic mobile working machine applications such as brake systems. It is the perfect device for activating a warning signal when the emergency brake is engaged, which alerts the operator …
Diaphragm Seals: Protection for Pressure Measuring Devices in Urea Fertilizer Production
Chi-Che Ma | PressureHigh temperatures, corrosion, and crystallization can put a lot of stress on – and quickly damage – even the most robust pressure measuring devices. WIKA USA has designed an extra-tough diaphragm seal to protect mechanical pressure gauges, pressure switches and …
