  • New ways to measure torque may make your current method obsolete
    Torque is a measure of the forces that cause an object to rotate. Reaction torque is the force acting on the object that's not free to rotate. An example is a screwdriver applying torque to a rusted screw. With rotational torque, the object is free to rotate. Examples include industrial motor
  • Gearbox Tutorial
    all aspects of gear boxes. Of the three types of contact sensors, velocity, acceleration and displacement, only acceleration is adequate. This is because the transducers must be able to measure up to the third harmonic of the gear mesh. The accelerometer is the only sensor that can cover the wide
  • Agriculture Chemical Flow Meter
    A leading manufacturer of Agriculture Chem Stations was looking for improved flowmeter accuracy as their long standing nutating disc-type meter was having issues accurately measuring differing fluids. A Macnaught MX Positive Displacement Oval Gear Flow Meter was evaluated for accuracy
  • Belts and Pulleys Glossary
    of a larger circle. A cycloidal drive replaces conventional gears with an eccentric internal cam which takes a cycloidal path inside a fixed housing; the result is a reduction in speed. Denier: A measure of weight of a reinforcing cord equal to grams per 9000 meters Durometer: A common measure
  • Harmonic Drives ROI
    Harmonic Drive located in Peabody, MA is a leading manufacturer of precision gears, gearheads, servo actuators and motion control systems. The Pratt and Whitney Labmaster Universal has helped Harmonic Drive achieve the high precision they need. Accurate to 0.000002-inch (2 millionths of an inch
  • Automated (Robotic) Manual Transmissions
    position the gears in the same method an operator would in a traditional manual transmission. MTS Commercial Sensors can provide feedback for individual, linearly moving shift shafts or a combined linear and rotary motion shaft. MTS magnetostrictive sensors have the unique ability to measure
  • Flow Meter Comparison
    In the world of industrial instrumentation, there are many technologies available for measuring flow of mission-critical process fluids. Deciding which one to select can be difficult. It is an important decision, as it can have a significant impact operations downstream. Macnaught MX series Oval
  • Magnetic Field Sensors as Speed Monitors
    to be completely sealed making them tolerant to contamination of any type. Strong vibrations, which sometimes occur in rough applications, also do not affect magnetic field sensors. The variety of magnetic sensors is as extensive, as their versatility of practical applications: the gear wheel sensor
