METH Methode Electronics (MM)

Magna-Lastic Devices, Inc. (MDI), a Methode Electronics, Inc. company, announces a new application of its non-contact sensor that measures load, force or weight, serving a wide variety of markets including industrial and automotive. This new sensor application was developed using Magna-Lastic Devices� patented technology, which has been successfully applied in a wide variety of process measurement applications. The new sensor, adapted from MDI technology, provides measurement solutions for load, force, or weight, from 0 - 20 lbs and up through 200 tons. The measurement does not drift over time, operates reliably within wide temperature changes, and can withstand excessive vibration and high impact environments. The sensing device does not require any recalibration or re-certification after production. The sensors are designed as custom application specific solutions for each client�s requirements for performance, resolution, footprint, enclosure (from IP55 to IP67), and communication options (including analog, serial, or digital). Applications that can benefit from use of this technology are: automotive, off-road equipment, machinery, continuous weight scales, portable scales, occupant sensors, conveyor systems, and critical industrial grade measurement devices. As this is a custom solution defined by the needs of each client, pricing and delivery will vary depending on specific application requirements.
