MeasureX sensor selection guide
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Read MoreHow to select pressure sensors?
Pressure Sensors are designed to monitor the changes in pressure for liquid and gas applications. Pressure measurement is found in many different applications in various industries. Accordingly, there are many types of pressure sensors, which makes the selection process complicated so you might find the following selection tips useful. Please bear in mind that there are a lot of variables to consider, but here the most critical elements are highlighted. Please look at our glossary if you are not familiar with any of the sensor terms.
Read MoreHow to select load cells?
- Do select the right load cell for the application in terms of type and environmental compatibility.
- Do choose the right capacity.
- Do consider the required accuracy class.
- Do design-in adequate over/under load protection as well as protection from other mechanical damage (e.g. physical abuse, rodent problems).
- Don’t make the choice based only on price – cost of ownership is more important.
How to select displacement sensors
There are many technologies to measure distance, position, displacement, thickness and other kinds of movements. There is a lot of choice for sensors so here are some guidelines to help you find your solution.
First thing you need to decide is the measuring range. Here are the different technologies you can consider based on the measuring range.
Read MoreWhat is IP rating?
IP (Ingress Protection) Rating is a two-digit number that indicates protection level of electronic equipment. IP rating aims to provide users more detailed information than unclear marketing terms such as hermitically sealed or waterproof.
As defined in international standard IEC 60529 (specified in Australian Standards AS60529 and EN60529), IP Code classifies and rates the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects, dust, accidental contact, and water in electronic equipment or mechanical casings with electrical enclosures.
The two digits (characteristic numerals) of IP rating code indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. Where there is no protection rating with regard to one of the criteria, the digit is replaced with the letter X.
