Optical fiber communication technology has developed rapidly in the last 20 years. Since optical fiber communication transmits a large amount of information at a fast speed, and it can transmits digital signals, which makes it possible to transmit information such as broadband image signals and computer networking. Thus, optical fiber measurement has entered into a new period of digitization.

Ultrasonic distance sensors are designed to measure the distance to a remote object through the air without physically touching it. Distance sensors determine this value by emitting high-frequency or ultrasonic soundwaves toward the object being measured, receiving the reflected wave, and calculating the time between emission and reception. While this broad selection makes it possible for customers to find a ultrasonic distance sensor that suits their unique application, it can also make it more difficult to determine which one is right. When we choose ultrasonic distance sensors, we should consider several problems. Here is a brief introduction about what they are.

At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living, various industries pay more and more attention to the temperature and humidity management environment of product production, equipment and warehouse storage. Therefore, it is necessary to use the temperature data loggers. The temperature and humidity data logger measures the temperature and humidity parameters and stores them in the recorder according to predetermined time intervals or uploads them to the computer cloud platform through Bluetooth or USB. The data logger can be exported and analyzed to ensure that whether there are any incidents that endanger the safety of the product during the storage and shipping. However, which industries need temperature and humidity monitoring systems?

The realization of the overload protection function of the miniature circuit breaker is based on the principle that bimetals bend in a regular direction as the temperature rises. After the miniature circuit breaker is closed, it is in normal working condition. The inner bimetal is heated by a certain current passing through it. The two pieces of metal have different thermal expansion coefficients and cause bending.

A hydraulic motor is a mechanical actuator that converts hydraulic pressure and flows into torque and angular displacement (rotation).
