Instrumentation supplements transducer offering
As well as manufacturing transducers and instrumentation to measure displacement, force, pressure and torque, RDP Electronics is the sole UK and Eire distributor for MTS Temposonics industrial magnetostrictive sensors. At this year’s show, the company will introduce the MTS Temposonics GBM series displacement transducers which it says takes magnetostrictive technology to a new level of robustness.
For load cells (force or weight), fluid pressure and torque (reaction or rotating) the company offers the strain-gauge technology from Honeywell’s Sensotec and Lebow ranges. Load cell full scale ranges run from 250g to over 1,000 tonnes. Pressure transducers (gauge, absolute or differential) are available with full scales from 35mbar to over 10,000 bar. Torque transducers and systems have full scale capabilities from 70mNm to 2,500Nm.
Associated instrumentation, physically separate or integral to the transducer, offers analogue voltage, 4.0 to 20mA, RS232, RS485, SSI and a variety of fieldbus types. Additional features such as scalable displays, trips and data-logging are available.
In addition to general industrial designs the company has established solutions for applications involving high temperature, radiation, high pressure and long-term subsea installation.
