Your Pressure Sensor May Be Accurate. Your Measurement May Not Be – Why a ±0.5% Accuracy Specification Doesn’t Guarantee a ±0.5% Measurement

A pressure sensor’s Accuracy specification is only part of the story.
In real-world applications, measurement quality is also affected by temperature, installation, pressure spikes, vibration, electrical noise, and the entire measurement chain. This guide explains why selecting the right pressure sensor requires more than comparing datasheets – it requires understanding the application.

Why Did Your Footswitch Fail After Just Six Months – Even Though It Was Rated for One Million Operations?

A footswitch that fails after only a few months isn’t necessarily a defective product. This engineering investigation explains why identical footswitches can perform very differently in the field, examining mechanical life, duty cycle, cable fatigue, side loading, Failure Analysis and the engineering decisions that determine long-term reliability. Whether you’re designing industrial machinery, medical equipment or OEM systems, choosing the right footswitch begins with understanding the application-not just the datasheet.

Your System Has Powered Up – But Does It Know Where It Is? Absolute Position Sensors vs. Homing

What happens after a power interruption if your system no longer knows where the mechanism actually is? In many motion control applications, an incremental encoder requires a homing sequence before normal operation can resume. This article explains how Absolute Position Sensors eliminate that dependency, enabling faster startup, reducing system complexity, and providing immediate position feedback after power-up.

Why a Linear Position Sensor Shouldn’t Be Selected by Stroke Alone

Most engineers start by asking, “What stroke do I need?” In reality, that’s only the beginning. Choosing the right linear position sensor requires far more than matching the measurement range. This article explains why operating conditions, mechanical design, installation constraints and expected service life often have a greater impact than stroke alone – and how to choose the right sensor family for your application.

Does Your Thermal Protector Really Solve the Problem? Or Just Give the System Another Chance to Fail?

Most thermal protectors disconnect a circuit when it overheats – but what happens when the system cools down? In many applications, the automatic restart itself can become the biggest risk. Learn why overheating is often just a symptom, when auto-reset protection isn’t enough, and how latching protection can prevent repeated failure cycles, equipment damage, and safety hazards.
