Abstract: A 2-axis bracket assembly with smart linear actuators forms a mount for one or more sensors, and is controllable via a remote smart controller for the actuators, which may in turn be controlled by a remote PC and may control multiple 2-axis bracket assemblies. A two-axis gimballed support is mounted to an elevated structure, and a sensor is fixed thereto. The gimballed support includes a gimbal assembly, and a bracket to mount the assembly on a pole, a bracket assembly to hold the sensor. The gimbal assembly connects the pole bracket to the sensor bracket, permitting two-axis motion therebetween. Two smart linear actuators, one connecting the pole bracket to the gimbal assembly, and one connecting the sensor bracket to the gimbal assembly control the position of the sensor bracket and the sensor.

Abstract: A process isolation device for handling a process sensor probe at a process location fitting inserts the process sensor probe into a process at a process location fitting and pulls out the process sensor probe from the process. The process isolation device includes an adapter arranged in the process location fitting and fitted for the process sensor probe to hold and move the sensor in at least three positions of the process sensor probe, the positions including the process sensor probe inserted position into the process location via the fitting into the process fluid, the process sensor probe retracted position from the processor location fitting and the process sensor probe pivoted aside position from the processor location fitting, and push-pull means in co-operation with pivot means to push and pull the process sensor probe as attached to the adapter in co-operation to pivot the process sensor probe in the adapter.

Abstract: A pivotable module unit for sensors for a transportation vehicle having at least two attachment elements spaced apart from each other, a sensor holding unit arranged between the two attachment elements, and two pivoting units. The sensor holding unit holds at least one sensor for a transportation vehicle. The two pivoting units fasten the sensor holding unit to the two attachment elements so the sensor holding unit is movable about a first pivot axis and about a second pivot axis which is different from the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A cardan shaft for a tool connected to a motor and provided with a system for checking conditions of use thereof. The cardan shaft has a rotatable shaft, with one or two end cardan joints. One or more sensor members are mounted on the cardan shaft to transmit signals to a data acquisition and data-processing electronic control unit (ECU) mounted on a fixed protection of the cardan shaft. The sensor members measure data such as torque transmitted by the cardan shaft, rotation speed of the rotatable shaft, vibrations of the cardan shaft, temperature of the cardan joint and articulation angle. A system for checking conditions of use of the cardan shaft has a remote node connected to the ECU and mounted on the fixed protection. The remote node acquires, stores and processes data sent to the ECU by the sensor members.

Abstract: The invention relates to a field device with a sensor for detecting a physical measured variable, comprising a housing with a sensor neck which is introduced into the housing. A rotationally symmetrical pin-shaped clamping element is introduced into a receiving element of the housing on a plane which is tangential to the rotational axis of the housing. The rotationally symmetrical pin-shaped clamping element is designed such that, by being inserted into the receiving element, the clamping element exerts a clamping force in the radial direction between the receiving element and the sensor neck so that both a movement of the sensor neck in the tubular section of the housing in the direction of the rotational axis as well as a rotation of the sensor neck in the tubular section of the housing about the rotational axis are prevented.

Abstract: A sensor mounting station includes a sensor mount and a control device. The sensor mount is for removably mounting a sensor. The control device is configured to orient the sensor mount about a plurality of axes. The plurality of axes are constrained to pass through a common point in space corresponding to a middle point of the sensor when mounted to the sensor mount.
