A Special Announcement From Servoflo

Posted by David Ezekiel on May 21, 2024 9:00:00 AM

Today we have important news to share with you. After 34 years, Servoflo will discontinue its distribution business at the end of 2024. The global nature of our business has dictated that we seek a larger partner to serve our loyal customers who frequently design, source, and manufacture in all corners of the globe.

To that end, we will transition many customers to Angst+Pfister this year. Angst+Pfister (A+P) is an international distributor and manufacturer, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. They have a US division and lengthy experience with many of our factory partners in Europe. Our long-standing global relationship with A+P makes us confident you will be in good hands with them.

What does this mean for you, our cherished customer?

All current orders will be shipped as committed by Servoflo.  Expediting is possible as long as our inventory can meet an earlier date. All orders remain non-cancellable and non-returnable. If we have an excess inventory of parts you have previously ordered, we can accept orders anytime. In principle, A+P will begin accepting orders in May 2024. For the next several months, we will work closely with A+P to ensure a smooth transition of key personnel and business practices. Those with blanket orders, please be assured we will work closely with you to ensure you receive all your deliveries and we will put you in touch with the appropriate contacts for future orders. We will handhold every customer during this transition.

A+P will become the North American representative for Fujikura, Sensormate, Metallux, Consensic, HYB, and Siargo. While our two companies will not overlap in order taking, Servoflo will support A+P and our customers during this critical transition. A+P is a large, worldwide organization with in-house technical experts in various sensor technologies, applications, and architectures. Angst+Pfister can be contacted via their email box info.apus@angst-pfister.com for any sample, quote, order, or technical information request. For all other factories not mentioned, you may contact them directly.

Our factory partners have been fully supportive of this transition as they see the potential of A+P to support you:

"Fujikura has worked with Angst & Pfister in Europe for over 30 years. We are pleased to extend our relationship to North America with the new U.S. division of Angst & Pfister. We are confident our customers will be in capable hands." - Jason Peng, President of Fujikura America, Inc.

“Metallux is grateful for Servoflo’s past work in North America, and we are looking forward to continuing our growth and presence with our new Angst & Pfister partnership. We are confident in their technical knowledge and professional expertise.” – Massimo Romano - General Manager, Metallux SA

“Sensormate is excited to be part of the Angst & Pfister team in North America" - Leo Wu, President of Sensormate Enterprise Co., Ltd.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at info@servoflo.com or reply to this email. You may also call our office at 781-862-9572.

We are eternally grateful and humbled to have been in this business for 34 years. We have enjoyed this journey and have been privileged to learn from our customers who design and manufacture the best products in their markets.

Sincerely,

David Ezekiel, Owner

1 Sensor Measures Pressure, Humidity & Temperature!

Posted by Seta Davidian on Aug 19, 2015 11:09:00 AM

pressure humidity temperature sensorSensors are rapidly changing with increased functionality in MEMs technologies.  The new MS8607-02BA01 exemplifies how new technology is creating amazing new sensors.

The MS8607 measures pressure, humidity and temperature in a small QFN package measuring only 5 mm3 x 3 mm3 x 1 mm3. Inside this small package is a piezoresistive sensor providing pressure and temperature and a capacitive-type sensor for measuring relative humidity.  The measured signals are converted into a 24-bit digital value for pressure and temperature and a 12-bit digital value for relative humidity measurement.

The sensor requires 8 pads for operation, uses I2C communication and operates with a very low 1.8 to 3.6  supply voltage. With an operating pressure range of 10 to 2000 mbar, it has a pressure accuracy of ±2.0 mBar and pressure resolution of 0.016 mBar. For humidity, the measuring range is 0-100% rH with an accuracy of ±3% rH and a resolution of 0.04% rH. Finally, for temperature, the operating range is -40°C to +85°C with a temperature accuracy of ±2°C and resolution of 0.01°C.

The MS8607 is ideal for applications in the consumer and industrial marketplace, including smartphones, tablets, printers, HVAC applications, weather stations, home appliances, humidifiers and much more.

The 24-bit Revolution in Pressure Sensor Technology

Posted by Seta Davidian on Oct 13, 2011 11:20:00 AM

barometric pressure sensor MS5607Servoflo has posted a new paper written by Dr. Norbert Rauch, a well-respected sensor engineer in Germany. His paper, titled "The 24-bit Revolution in Pressure Sensor Technology", discusses how altitude can be accurately measured with the impressive resolution provided in the MS5607 silicon-based pressure sensor, which uses the latest 24-bit ADC technology.

Most traditional altimeter sensors have resolution of several meters, making them not very precise. These traditional sensors have a digital signal conditioning unit and operate on a 14-bit ADC. However, a 14-bit ADC does not automatically mean that the signal can be resolved with 14 bits. Depending on the signal span, offset, and the signal evaluation electronics, possibly 10-12 bits are available for signal conditioning. Until now, achieving a better level of resolution was only achievable with a complex pressure sensing system which is costly and difficult to achieve.

The paper discusses how the MS5607 eliminates these problems with the use of an ASIC and MEMS technology. By taking into consideration that resolution must not be confused with precision, calibration accuracy and offset drift due to temperature changes must also be considered when assessing solutions. Physical size and power consumption are also factors for designers.

The paper will educate readers on how to better understand the importance of the 24-bit designs and implications for applications.
