Sensors have become a common component within fluid power and other systems, offering a range of capabilities from enabling precise motion to providing maintenance alerts. With the continued uptake of automation in various industries, use of sensors will only continue to rise due to the important role they play in ensuring safe operation of both mobile and industrial machinery.
Due to the ever-growing importance of sensors, this month’s newsletter focuses on some of the latest technologies which have entered the market as well as trends driving sensor design. Our top story offers a look at a new sensor developed for the detection of contaminants within hydraulic oil which could be detrimental to system and overall machine performance. The need to detect potential maintenance issues such as this before they cause unplanned downtime is critical to maintaining productivity for machine owners.
Other content in this month’s newsletter examines the rising use of TMR sensors in various applications and the future market potential for sensor technology.
