A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Hydraulics is great for lifting heavy loads and applying large amounts of force, but the same power that is required to exert a large amount of lifting or compression force can also do damage or ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Magnetic position sensors have been favoured by automotive design engineers over the years, offering resistance to vibration and contamination whilst providing precise and accurate measurement of ...

Key features include true 3D position detection, a unique stray-field concept supporting various magnetic configurations (rotary, linear, axial, radial), and a highly robust Hall-plate architecture.
