The right cable increases your machine availability
| Stefan Heusel | Know-howThe choice of the right cable or line for transmitting signals on your machine has essential influence on the machine availability. Usually, when determining the instruments of machines and plants, a profound amount of attention is given to choosing the right sensors. …
Failure causes and sources of errors in sensors: Mechanical failure – defected cables, lines or connectors
| Stefan Heusel | Know-howCable break / lead breakage, broken connectors and damaged cable insulation – many of these failure causes and sources of errors in sensors can be traced back to mechanical failure of qualitatively inferior components. You have carefully selected a supplier for …
Grounding of submersible pressure transmitter or level probes prevents corrosion
| Enrico Bossart | Know-howIn industrial applications, the corrosion of pressure sensors is a rather negligible phenomenon, since in the majority of applications, oils (in particular hydraulic oils) are used, and contact with the pressure medium is mainly limited to the pressure channel and the …
Terminal boxes and angular connectors with M12x1: scope of delivery or accessories?
| Michèle Beyer | GeneralWe are often asked whether for instruments with M12 x 1 connector the corresponding mating connector (also called cable socket or angular connector) is included in the scope of delivery of our pressure sensors. Our clear answer is: no. Unlike the DIN connectors forms A …
