PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS

Honeywell Sensotec provides a complete family of absolute, gauge digital gauges, covering pressure ranges from less than 0.1 psi to 200,000 psi. Our customers can select from a wide variety of accuracies, sizes, signal outputs and pressure fittings to meet their exact requirements. Our unique `True gauge' design utilizes dual diaphragms to hermetically seal strain gauge circuitry from extraneous fluids such as transmission oil, and provide excellent performance under temperature extremes from -100ºF to +400ºF. This all-welded, stainless steel design gives unparalleled precision and stability in demanding applications such as engine and transmission test stands.

LOAD CELLS

Honeywell Sensotec's load cells are industrially hardened and provide high accuracy load and force measurements from less than a gram to more than 3 million pounds. Our family of rugged and precise miniature and sub-miniature load cells are unmatched in their applicability to harsh environments with very tight clearances. The all-welded stainless steel construction provides consistently accurate performance in areas such as engine horsepower testing while withstanding vibration, shock, and environmental extremes. With accuracies to 0.02% and optional fatigue rated designs, these load cells provide long life for high-cycle operations common in automotive testing and production.

ACCELEROMETERS

Honeywell Sensotec offers both strain gauge and piezoelectric accelerometers to cover a wide range of vibration and shock monitoring applications, with ranges from 5 to 2000 g and frequencies from DC to 60 kHz. Our rugged, highly accurate shear mode accelerometers are unaffected by large temperature gradients or flexure in accelerometer mounting surface. This makes them particularly applicable to NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) testing as well as vehicle road testing. Honeywell Sensotec also has a complete line of specially designed, miniature crash-test accelerometers, featuring high sensitivity and frequency response.

DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS

Honeywell Sensotec Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) displacement transducers are available in both AC and DC powered versions with full scale ranges from 0.01 to 36 inches. These welded, all stainless steel transducers can operate in temperatures from -60º F to +250º F to meet the environmental requirements of a wide variety of applications. With linearity of 0.25% and a variety of armature designs, Honeywell Sensotec's LVDTs are well suited to the demanding requirements of precision manufacturing and testing operations such as body panel gaging and shaft alignment monitoring.

INSTRUMENTATION

Honeywell Sensotec manufactures a wide variety of transducer instrumentation including single and multi-channel signal conditioners, analog and digital indicators, and internal and in-line amplifiers. The Model SC provides up to fourteen self-calibrating input channels when used with a transducer equipped with our unique Signature Calibration module. This is ideal for research and development labs and testing locations that use multiple transducers with a single instrument. Honeywell Sensotec's portable, battery operated instruments are widely used on test tracks and for over-the-road and off-road vehicle testing.
