Hydraulic systems play a crucial role in wind turbines by controlling blade pitch and yaw to maximize the amount of power generated under any wind condition while protecting the wind turbine from damage. Monitoring these and other hydraulic systems is critical to the performance and durability of wind turbines. Leading edge pressure switches and transducers from Gems™ Sensors & Controls deliver the accuracy and reliability needed to help meet the rapidly growing demand for economical and reliable wind energy. Gems has provided sensor packages for thousands of wind turbines currently in the field with on time delivery and competitive pricing.
Importance of hydraulic systems
In most turbines, the angle of a wind turbine blade is pitched at a specific angle in order to optimize its power output at any given wind speed. Leading wind turbine manufacturers use hydraulic pitch control because a hydraulic system uses fewer components than a mechanical system making it easier to maintain.

The selection process for incorporating electronic controls into a boiler system can be daunting and can vary depending on the application. For the simplest of applications a basic safety relay may be all that is needed. For more complex applications, feature rich controllers that can assist the end user in troubleshooting the heating system are a necessity. No matter what your application, specifying and designing in a controller that meets local and federal regulations is a must. Gems Sensors & Controls, manufacturer of the industry respected Warrick Line of boiler controls, developed this article to help those within the boiler industry understand the codes that cover boiler safety controls.
The days of temperamental boiler systems have all but passed. Nation-wide adoption of safe installation practices, regular maintenance and technological advancements are edging boilers into the category of set it – forget it. This is not to say that accidents have been wholly eliminated.

Since 1955, Gems™ Sensors & Controls has earned a solid reputation for accuracy and dependability in marine service. Gems™ marine products are approved and qualified to MIL-L-23886, the military specification for fluid level sensors. Other military qualifications include MIL-S-901C, Shock Test High Impact Shipboard Machinery, Equipment and Systems…MIL-STD-167, Mechanical Vibration of Shipboard Equipment Vibration...Inclination, Bureau Veritas, Lloyds, ABS and USCG. Commercial vessel approvals include UL, CSA, and FM.
Typical applications are ship-wide and include high, low and/or intermediate level alarms, automatic pump-up and pump-down control, single-point, multi-point and continuous level monitoring, flow confirmation, and pressure switch monitoring.

For more than 50 years Gems™ Sensors & Controls has been continuously improving the design and manufacturing process of fluid sensors in the Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Industry. With decades of experience, Gems has a unique understanding of the most sophisticated applications in OHV, and delivers fluid sensors that measure up to today's - and tomorrow's - critical requirements.
With a growing need for sophisticated systems to control fluids, Gems team of engineers has designed highly accurate and configurable products that provide improvements in fluid management, enhancing the overall efficiency of heavy equipment. These include level, flow, and pressure systems for hydraulic fluid, engine and transmission oil, coolant, urea, fuel, and brake fluid.

When most people hear the word “semiconductor” they think of processing speed. When folks like us hear “semiconductor” we think of process purity. The microscopic topography of today’s silicon circuits demand the cleanest manufacturing facilities on earth. We know that, and we build liquid level, flow and pressure sensors to meet those stringent requirements. It’s because of these special requirements we have a special semiconductor sensor team at Gems™. These men and women are dedicated to making your manufacturing clean and simple.
