3201 Pressure and Temp Sensor - Mining Trucks - Nitrogen Struts
Many pressure sensor manufacturers offer sensors that can survive in the mining truck industry. But few have the optional configuration of having both pressure and temperature readings from one device.
RFO Rotor Flow Sensor in Agriculture Sprayers
Today’s modern farmer has access to numerous pieces of equipment that aids them in being able to tend to larger amounts of land and grow more food efficiently.
Skid-Steer Spring-Applied Hydraulic Brake (SAHB) Pressure Switch
Skid-steers are an important part of the earth moving equipment line. They complement the much larger bucket loaders and bulldozers.
PS71 for Crane Outriggers
Crane manufacturers continue to push the envelope on how high and how far they can extend their booms to gain the farthest reach for their customers.
Forklift Trucks - 3200 series pressure sensor
As companies are growing due to increased demand for their products (including those that are mostly online), their warehouses are getting bigger and the need grows for more and more forklifts.
IP Ratings and How They Apply to PS61 Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are used in a variety of applications with environments as gentle as sitting in a comfortable, safe and room temperature controlled laboratory
Aerospace, featuring B-Cryo and D-Cryo Series
Aerospace continues to be a growing industry, especially with the privatization of space travel and satellite launches.
Hydraulic Load Moment Indication (LMI) using 3200 Series Pressure Transducers
Hydraulic load moment indication (LMI) is a common overload warning system built into Off- Highway Vehicles
Gems Pressure Sensors Manage the Suspension on Coal Mine Haul Trucks
Coal mine haul trucks are essential for removing “overburden” (layer of dirt above the coal) and transporting the coal once excavated from underground
Pressure Sensor for Agriculture Fertilizer & Seed Planter
Agriculture fertilizer and seed planters help farmers optimize the planting process to maximize crop yields.
3100 vs. 3200 Pressure Sensors
At Gems Sensors, we offer our industry leading 3100 series pressure sensors in two versions: the standard 3100 and the heavy duty 3200.
1100 Pressure Sensor in Power Take-Off
A PTO is one method of harnessing the power (energy) from a power source (like a running engine) and using it to perform a task. PTO stands for Power Take-Off
Pressure Sensors in Agriculture Machinery
The 1100 series pressure sensor that can withstand high vibration, inclement weather and harsh chemicals, without breaking the bank to address the needs of agriculture applications
How Ultrasonic Sensors Can Be Used in Mining Equipment
In mining, mineral and metal processing technology is essential. This technology separates the valuable minerals from waste which is usually done so using magnets.
How Electronic Flow Sensors Help Spread Road Salt
Salt spreading trucks use a pre-wetting system when ice needs to be removed from roads and the temperatures are too low for direct salt spreading to work. The machine is in need of sensors that are capable of being used in very cold temperatures.
Agricultural Seed Planter Depth Control Using Pressure Transducers
Since its invention, the seed planting machine has helped to greatly increase harvest yield. Today’s machines have adjustable downforce to make planting accuracy even easier.
Level Sensors for Low Coolant Warning in Earth Movers
Earth movers are some of the biggest and heaviest equipment in the off highway vehicle (OHV) industry. Keeping these machines running properly is critical so they can continue to dig, push, and transport earth.
Gems Sensors Keep Off-Highway Vehicles Running Reliably and Safely
From harsh environments to high shock and vibration and extreme temperatures, Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) are exposed to conditions that test their limits. And in this industry, time lost due to equipment malfunctions can be extremely costly and disruptive events.
