Piezoresistive pressure transducer. The PTU8000 series is temperature compensated and operates from -40° to 100°C. Typical non-linearity as well as long-term stability are 0.2% BSL. The unit has pressure ranges from 0-15 psi to 0-500 psi gage, and a small size of 0.86-in. OD. It is compatible with most industrial media (compressed air, oil, glycol). The PTU8000 possesses direct chip media compatibility. This technology makes the chip resistant to many industrial liquids and gases and thus eliminates the need for a stainless steel membrane. Up until this innovation the active silicon chip had to be isolated by a stainless steel membrane for most measurements of industrial media.

Cylinder-indicator sensor. The Strokemaster cylinder-indicator
sensor provides precision end-of-stroke sensing for hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, while
eliminating post-installation cable management problems with 305 deg. of rotational
freedom on the connector. It allows infinitely adjustable and lockable cable positioning
anytime after mounting to the cylinder -- without breaking the seal -- enabling quicker
installation of the sensor and neat cable runs. Balluff, 8125 Holton Dr,
Florence, KY 41042. 606-727-2200.
Level sensors. The KRE series of intrinsically safe
capacitance level sensors are for use in hazardous areas. The remote amplifier can be
mounted up to 200 meters away from the sensor with coaxial cable, and offers separation
distances to 1000 meters. The KRE amplifier uses a 100/200VAC, 110/220 VAC ±10%, or
50/60Hz power supply. Scientific Technologies, 6550 Dumbarton Circle,
Fremont, CA 94555. 510-608-3400. 
Non-contact rotary position sensor. The RS-50 sensor utilizes
reliable Hall effect technology in a hermetically-sealed, fully encapsulated plastic body
with custom mounting configurations. The sensor has a programmable rotational range and
idle validation, and operates in temperatures from -40°C to +135°C (+150°C available).
The long-life sensor can operate with or without a return spring and with or without
rotational stops. Power Components of Midwest, 56641 Twin Branch Dr,
Mishawaka, IN 46545. 219-256-6630. Circle 530.
Submersible pressure transducer. The model 274C two-wire
transducer is designed for use in wells, tanks and other submersible applications. The
274C is designed and constructed of 316 stainless steel to function trouble free for years
in a wide variety of underwater level applications, even in harsh, corrosive treatment
plants. Powered from an unregulated source, it is available in nine ranges from 5 to 230
ft. Transicoil, 2560 General Armistead Ave, Norristown, PA 19403.
610-539-4400. 
Sealable linear sensor. The SLS190 is a new design engineered
to provide volume production of OEM quantities on very short delivery. Stroke lengths from
25 to 350mm, in increments of 25mm, are held in stock and any configurable option is
available for quick ship. Sealing is a major benefit. It features a molded, 1-piece rear
bearing assembly with integral cable exit which, when used with the shaft seal option
provides sealing to IP66. Penny + Giles Controls, 1100 E Woodfield Rd, Ste
140, Schaumburg, IL 60173. 847-995-0840. Circle 526.
Silicon pressure transducer. Model 6-14 is a 4-20mA pressure
transmitter that employs a micro-machined silicon pressure sensing element, enabling the
transmitter to deliver more accurate and stable performance in harsh industrial
environments. Model 6-14's design isolates the transmitter from installation stresses, as
well as operational vibration and shock. The operating temperature range is -40° to
85°C. The silicon pressure sensor is mechanically uncoupled from the external mechanical
structure, isolating the transmitter from installation stresses as well as operational
vibration and shock. BEI Sensors & Systems, 13100 Telfair Ave, Sylmar,
