A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Displacement sensors protect sattelite from
Micro-Epsilon UK: "The principle of a draw-wire displacement sensor is relatively straightforward, hence its inherent reliability".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Lamerholm Electronics
concerning its Lamerholm TP transmission protection system
- take a look at Transmission system protects forklift tyres
which says: "The Lamerholm TP transmission protection system saves tyres and protects transmission when operating forklift trucks, saving companies up to 300% of their tyre costs".
Take a look also at the news release from Lamerholm Electronics, Speed limiter improves forklift safety,
