What is a sensor?

A sensor measures a physical quantity. The variables are located in the following areas: pressure, force, inclination, displacement, acceleration, temperature, strain, vibration or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena. Sensors convert the measured quantity into a standardized control signal that is converted to a human-readable display at the sensor location or transmitted electronically over a network for reading or further processing.

Customised sensor solutions

Our in-house production facilities enable us to develop customised solutions for any measurement challenge. Althen has more than 40 years of experience with many different types of sensors and measurement technologies. This enables us to find the best solution for your application!

Let us know your metrological challenge - we will advise you on standard sensors and/or develop an individual, customised solution for you.
