Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

The 3-D flow field inside an automotive torque converter was measured using laser velocimetiy. For the tests, a torque converter completely machined from Plexiglas was operated at the 0.065 and 0.800 ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This car is spinning up to a whopping 8,200 revolutions per minute. At 8,200 rpm, it screams. It's a Ford Mustang GT350, and though its wheels are ...

Researchers have measured the twisting force, or torque, generated by light on a silicon chip. Their work holds promise for applications such as miniaturized gyroscopes and torsional sensors to ...

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 ...

Torque is the unsung hero of engine specifications, and we talk about it often. But does it get the recognition it deserves? Too often it ends up playing second fiddle to horsepower in the symphony of ...

Everyone and their mothers know a car’s top two performance metrics are horsepower and torque. They’re littered across every car’s spec sheet, plastered multiple times in its reviews, and bolded and ...

When performing mechanical work on a vehicle, it’s crucial to know torque specifications. They refer to the unit of measurement for rotational force, or twisting, needed to properly fasten nuts and ...
