How can you operate an electrical system without bringing electricity to the point of operation? Discover how Herga Air, Pressure and Vacuum Switches use simple pneumatic signals to reduce wiring, separate user controls from electronics and provide reliable ON/OFF pressure or vacuum detection.
An autonomous combat aircraft is not simply a fighter with the pilot removed. From Tactical IMUs and GNSS-denied navigation to position feedback, temperature sensing, power monitoring and Edge AI, discover how the aircraft’s “nervous system” provides the reliable real-time data required for autonomy, fault detection and mission-aware decision-making.
Hydrogen presents unique challenges for pressure measurement – from material compatibility and Hydrogen Embrittlement to high operating pressures and demanding environmental conditions. This article explains how to select a pressure sensor for hydrogen systems, the differences between Nominal Pressure, Overpressure, and Burst Pressure, and how the EPT92H2 with EC79 and EC406 approvals supports hydrogen applications up to 1,000 bar.
When operators need to communicate while continuing to work with a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or other controls, a hand-operated Push-to-Talk button can interrupt the workflow. A foot-operated PTT solution such as the Herga 6289 Treadle Footswitch moves communication control from the hands to the foot, enabling parallel operation. This article explores how foot-operated PTT can be integrated into Command & Control systems, Ground Control Stations, operator consoles, and other mission-oriented systems using electrical contacts or USB.
Temperature monitoring in Battery Packs is not limited to electric vehicles. An NTC sensor mounted directly on a battery cell can help the BMS detect Hot Spots, monitor temperature differences and support effective thermal management. This article examines the Variohm Eurosensor ETP-ST-21-35-B57861S0103A039, an NTC 10K Sleeve Temperature Sensor designed for cylindrical cells, and explores its relevance to UAVs, robotics, defense systems, ESS and industrial applications.
A dirty endoscope lens is more than an optical problem – it is an engineering challenge involving visibility, workflow, and Human-Machine Interface design. Pneumatic Foot Bellows can provide hands-free control of lens cleaning functions, allowing physicians to maintain control of the endoscope while quickly restoring a clear view.
In mobile Antenna Positioning systems, knowing the antenna position is not enough. Discover how IMU data, Position Feedback, Beamwidth, Latency, and Pointing Error work together to maintain a stable communication link even while the platform is moving.
AI servers, higher power density, and demanding uptime requirements are changing how engineers select circuit breakers for modern data centers. Learn why hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers are increasingly replacing traditional thermal breakers in rack PDUs and other mission-critical power distribution systems.
What transforms a MEMS sensor into a Tactical-Grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)? The answer lies in a rigorous engineering process that extends far beyond the sensor itself. Discover how calibration, environmental test chambers, temperature cycling, vibration qualification, shock testing, repeatability, and performance verification ensure accurate, stable, and reliable inertial measurements for demanding aerospace and defense applications.
Understanding gear module is essential for selecting the right gear. This guide explains what gear module is, how it affects tooth size, torque capacity, gear strength, and compatibility, how to estimate it from an existing gear, and why choosing the correct module is a critical engineering decision rather than a simple catalog selection.
