As the global market focuses on lean manufacturing, American Sensor Technologies (AST) offers multi-variable sensors that combine multiple sensing systems such as pressure, temperature, and even LVDT linear position sensors in one package. The package is designed to reduce the number of components in an installation, trim inventory stock and build times, and eliminate waste.…

Because of the remote location of many wind turbines, sensors serve as critical components in their operation, maintenance, and safety. Pressure sensors monitor yaw brake, lubrication oil, cooling circuit pressure, and level in gear boxes. Differential-pressure sensors monitor filter conditions. As a hydraulic filter clogs, its output signal increases, notifying the controller to replace the…
