We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Sensors suit mobile applications from
Parker Hannifin, which we summarised at the time by saying "IQAN sensors are mounted in tough stainless steel or plastic housings, complete with all signal conditioning electronics and are protected against shock, vibration and electro-magnetic
interference".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Pressure sensor promises performance and economy from
Futek Advanced Sensor Technology: "OEM pressure sensor is especially suited to applications subject to severe mechanical shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Sensor-Technik UK
concerning its M01-CAN
- take a look at Sensor handles the pressure of off-highway duties
which says: "A new high- specification CANbus pressure sensor designed for off-highway vehicles is likely to find wider application thanks to its demanding specifications".
Take a look also at the news release from BERU F1 Systems, Pressure sensor monitors nine wheels,
as well as Hydraulic valve allows easy customisation from Moog Controls,
and Acquisition puts pressure on sensor portfolio from Measurement Specialties.
