Vibration sensors cover sensors and other instruments used for measuring vibration and acceleration

Load cells are transducers for force and load measurement, often with mounting packaging.  They are widely used in testing, instrumentation, and as components in larger devices such as scales

Piezoelectric sensors measure the electrical potential caused by applying mechanical force to a piezoelectric material. They are used in a variety of pressure-sensing applications

Inertial and gyro systems use a combination of accelerometers and angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) to detect altitude, location, and motion. They may also be capable of detecting attitude, position, velocity, temperature, or magnetic field

Pressure switches are actuated by a change in the pressure of a liquid or gas.  They activate electromechanical or solid-state switches upon reaching a specific pressure level.

Piezoelectric devices generate electrical signals in response to vibrations and produce mechanical energy in response to electrical signals. Device types include actuators, motors, sensors, and transducers

Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported.

Spherical lenses, also known as singlets, are transparent optical components consisting of one or more pieces of optical glass with surfaces so curved that they serve to converge or diverge the transmitted rays from an object, thus forming a real or virtual image of that object.  This area includes micro spherical lenses as well

Gyroscopes are designed to measure angular rate or orientation about a given directional vector.

Switches are devices that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current flow when opened. Switches, All Types are a high level search form that includes options for all switch types. Search forms for specific switch actuator types are also available.

Linear limit switches are electromechanical devices that require physical contact between a target object and switch activator to make the contacts change state.

Piezoelectric actuators are devices that produce a small displacement with a high force capability when voltage is applied. 

Hydraulic cylinders are actuation devices that utilize pressurized hydraulic fluid to produce linear motion and force

Shock absorbers, linear dampers, and dashpots provide motion damping in linear applications. They frequently incorporate fluid dampening, and can include mechanical or elastomeric elements.

Wafer and thin film instrumentation includes quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) monitors, ellipsometers, RHEED systems, imaging stations, CD-SEMs, ion mills, and C-V systems specifically designed for wafer metrology or in-situ monitoring of thin film parameters during thin film or semiconductors wafer processing.
