Offering high-quality accurate measurements in a single device can improve performance and reduce cost. Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these ...

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HBM, Inc. (www.hbm.com), a leading manufacturer of data acquisition systems, analysis and calibration software, strain gauges, transducers and sensors, introduces ...

A little while ago I had one of those immensely annoying – and unwinnable – arguments in an online forum with a guy I’d never met. You’d think the touchy topic was the wisdom of wearing a face mask (I ...

What's a torque wrench? It's a referee, says Greg Katsis, marketing manager for Sturtevant Richmont, a manufacturer of torque-measurement systems in Franklin Park, Ill. It makes sure that big, burly ...

Units of measurement are tricky. Ideally, the best ones will convey not just a cold tally of some length or velocity or whatever, but also suggest a sort of visceral feel of the concept being measured ...

This may seem like a bit of an overstatement. But if you need to measure torque and you have not looked at new technologies lately, you may be in for a big surprise. New ways of mounting, installing, ...

Power and torque are concepts we all know and understand, right? Well, not everybody can accurately describe the difference. Imagine, for a moment, you're stopped at a red light when a slammed '06 BMW ...

In September, Sensor Developments Inc. (SDI) released the 01251 series of infrared dynamometer torque sensors. While inquiring about this new series, I quizzed Rick West, electronics design engineer ...

It is now possible to simultaneously monitor six dimensions using a load cell. • The world of 6DoF load cells is characterized more by customization than by standards. • Multiaxis load cells measure ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
