Important Terminology for Measurement System Selection
Important Terminology for Measurement System Selection Mounting conditions / Mounting mode – to properly measure an object/target with the aid of a laser displacement sensor, you must reflect the light from the object to the receiver. Measurement systems that use a triangulation method for measurement, along with variable surface conditions of the object, have sensor heads that are installed at an angle so that light can be reflected and received in the proper manner. Opaque targets – both the sensor head and the target must be installed parallel to each other so that a portion of light hit the [...]

Capacitor Characteristics
Capacitor Characteristics Capacitors are often defined by their many characteristics. These characteristics ultimately determine a capacitors specific application, temperature, capacitance range, and voltage rating. The sheer number of capacitor characteristics are bewildering. Furthermore, it can be very difficult to interpret and understand the information printed onto the body of a capacitor. Capacitors come in various types or families, and each of these groups has their own identification system and characteristics. Some of these systems are easy to interpret. However, other systems are inundated with symbols, letters, and colors that can be confusing to comprehend. Identifying a capacitor's characteristics typically [...]
