Almost everyone uses the terms pressure sensor, pressure transducer, and pressure transmitter interchangeably, and that’s okay!

Differential pressure transmitters are designed to measure pressure before and after the fluid encounters an interruption, such as a filter or pump. However, this pressure instrument can also be used to measure liquid levels. 

By measuring differential pressure, users can easily and accurately monitor filter conditions, liquid levels in closed tanks, liquid flow rates inside a pipe, and even the output torque of hydraulic motors.

When installing thermowells in a pipeline, a user must first answer several questions regarding their location, quantity, stem length, distance from each another, and effects on the process media.

Many factors go into the decision of which industrial pressure gauge to purchase. Asking the “STAMPED” questions regarding Size, Temperature, Application, Media, Pressure, “Ends,” and Delivery time will help buyers determine which gauges are right for their specific situation.

One of the most challenging elements to motion control is the integration of robots.  However, the benefits that can be achieved through this type of integration cannot be understated.

In many industrial and pneumatic systems, pressure control is essential. But not all pressure regulators are created equal. Two of the most commonly used devices—pressure regulators and back pressure regulators—perform very different roles. Choosing the right one depends on where you need to control pressure in your system.

If you've ever found yourself asking "What exactly is a linear servo motor positioner versus a linear servo motor actuator versus a linear servo motor stage?" you're not alone. Let’s break this down clearly and simply.

For many applications that are currently using Parker’s old ViX drives and controller/drives, AllMotion’s EZ controller/drives may be a great update path. While the ViX had some unique features, most applications didn’t need them, which makes AllMotion’s smaller products probable options.

Struggling with tolerance errors in robotic processes? Learn how Schunk AGM Compensation Units ensure precise handling and higher productivity.

In many industries, small air cylinders have long been the go-to for compact actuation needs. The EC Series Wire Cylinder from IAI delivers a cleaner, simpler, and more precise alternative. By using a wire-driven mechanism powered electrically, the EC Series removes the need for compressed air entirely.

If you're building instruments that demand high-resolution positioning—think semiconductor inspection, digital pathology, or precision metrology—then you already know that not all linear stages are created equal.

Unplanned downtime can bring production to a grinding halt—often due to preventable equipment failures.

When every micron matters and every millisecond counts, conventional linear motion systems often fall short. If you are chasing peak throughput, ultra-smooth motion, and zero mechanical backlash, it's time to look beyond belts and screws. That’s where the Parker XLM Series Linear Motor Stages come in.

There is still a sizeable gap between expectations from the end user perspective and the reality of what is possible tapping into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Implementing the tools necessary is more than just flipping a switch.  There are specific challenges associated with this implementation; however, strategies have been developed to help bridge that gap.

Thanks to the EC ELECYLINDER® 3-position mode specification option, stops are possible not only at the forward and backward ends but also at intermediate positions. The cycle time can be shortened by stopping at intermediate positions.

Safety is a paramount concern in the complex world of industrial automation. The Mosaic Safety Integrated Controller from ReeR Safety is designed to streamline safety management across various applications.

Maintaining automated machines often requires replacing parts, but this process can be complicated by discontinued components, unavailability, or shipping delays. In such cases, decision-makers may seek alternative components, a process known as “doing a crossover.”
