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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using a torque wrench incorrectly can be worse than tightening by feel. Fix the most common mistakes with these shop-proven ...

Marlborough, MA. HBM Inc. has added the new compact T40HS torque transducer, intended for measuring torque at high rotational speeds. It offers high stiffness, is made of light titanium, and ensures ...

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 ...

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 ...
