MTS Sensors Division has launched a new website that allows visitors to browse sensor products and application offerings in a user-friendly format. Through this site, www.mtssensors.com, engineers can quickly view and download information on magnetostrictive industrial position, liquid level, and mobile equipment sensors.

Go shopping

An upgraded PTplace.com portal offers information to designers seeking information on rotating-equipment technology and roller bearings. The growing e-commerce site features product offerings from four manufacturers. Administered by CoLinx, LLC (a joint venture by SKF, INS Holding Schaeffler KG, Rockwell Automation, and The Timken Co.) it recently went live with a host of improvements that facilitate faster, easier order entry and simplified customer interface.

Electronic storefronts allow access to engineering catalogs and ordering for a vast range of rotating-equipment products including ball and roller bearings, seals and shields, lubricants, bearing maintenance tools, shaft alignment equipment, and fault detection devices.
