Torque flange sensor is two-in-one
Submitted by nestorb on Sun, 2007-06-10 13:34. The TMF transducer, developed jointly by Magtrol (formerly Vibro-meter`s instrumentation division) in Switzerland, and GIF in Germany, uses strain-gauge measurement. The sensor is available in rated torques of 450, 1,100 or 2,800Nm, with the optional second measuring range typically being rated at 1/10 of the nominal torque.
Pressure sensor is just 15mm in diameter
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-06-01 14:15. Roxspur Measurement and Control is introducing the Sensit P150 miniature sensor, which is only 15mm in diameter.
High-precision torque sensor available from SI Instruments
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-03-21 23:25. The torque sensing is based on the accurate strain gauge technology. The typical accuracy (linearity and hysteresis) is of 0.05%. Special features are the short length, high stiffness, no bearing and small signal pick up with air gap up to 20 mm.
Sensor detects manufacturing errors
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-03-09 22:11. Researchers in Germany have developed a sensor that continuously monitors manufacturing processes in real time.
Miniature Quartz Force Sensor Measures Pressure on Injection Molding Cavities and Other Short-Term Quasi-Static Processes
Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2007-03-08 23:25. Full scale measurement ranges up to 560 lb (2.5 kN), and compact size of 0.24 inch (6 mm) diameter x 0.24 inch (6 mm) height, allows the sensor to be used for other applications involving compression forces, such as push buttons, pin insertion on circuit boards, switches, and actuators...
Fraunhofer Sensor Detects Manufacturing Errors
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-03-07 21:25. What is special about the sensors is that they are only two millimeters thick and have a diameter of only twenty to twenty-five millimeters – just ten percent of the size of commercially available sensors. They are therefore also suitable for use in large machine tools where many punches are mounted close together and conventional sensors would be too bulky
NTN Develops Force Sensor for Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-03-07 19:03. The system measures and displays any minute force from the fingertips of a surgeon (operator) manipulating a very thin wire, which is only 0.3mm in diameter, passed through a catheter in cerebral arteries during minimally invasive treatment of aneurysms...
Digital Load Cell Display with "TEDS"
Submitted by nestorb on Tue, 2007-02-27 11:05. In addition to providing a stable and well regulated excitation voltage to the sensor, it also provides 0-10 VDC & 4-20 mA analog output as well as RS232 / RS485 and USB interface to be used with PLC, data acquisition card or computer. FUTEK's IPM500 display is the ideal solution for a complete sensor and instrumentation system.
International Service Network Accredited
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-01-26 21:38. Lloyd Instruments has been a nationally recognised UKAS calibration laboratory (Accreditation No. 0251) for 15 years offering customers UKAS approved verification and calibration of the force measuring system in tension and compression. These services are available to customers using Lloyd Instruments' test systems and...
System 7000 with Strainsmart® Software Provides Complete Data Acquisition System for Stress Analysis Testing
Submitted by nestorb on Sat, 2007-01-13 16:30. New Vishay Micro-Measurements System 7000 Has Measurement Accuracy of ±0.05%, Measurement Resolution of 0.5 Microstrain, and Scan Rates Up to 2048 Samples Per Second..
