  • Force Balance Sensor Technology
    by an electrical equivalent mechanical spring. There are two classes of servo force balance accelerometers: the pendulous type, having an unbalanced pivoting mass with angular displacement, and the non-pendulous type, having a mass which is displaced linearly.
  • Sizing and Applying Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensors
    temperature, pressure, flow, force, or position, for example. The type of measurement and the sensor technology will dictate the set of parameters which are important in specifying and sizing the appropriate sensor. Linear-position sensors measure absolute distance along a motion axis
  • Force Feedback in Linear Actuators
    When specifying the initial system, designers may benefit from selecting electric actuators with internal load cells. This option is a practical solution that provides optimum alignment, protection of load cell sensors, and streamlines the path of cables from actuator to controls.
  • Considerations for using Capacitive Position Sensors for Feedback in a Servo System (.pdf)
    In many ways, capacitive position sensors from ADE Technologies are ideally suited to be used as the feedback element in a servo system. Some of their specifications that are important for servo use are: * Wide bandwidth. * Low noise. * No hysteresis. * No added mass, force, or damping to the servo
  • Digital Counting Scale
    Bridge transducers are the most common sensor type in digital counting scales. They convert a force into a voltage that is proportional to the force applied to the bridge. Bridge transducers are used because they are extremely linear and have repeatable characteristics for large applied forces
  • Piezo Motors: Principle of Operation for Engineers
    , quartz, Rochelle salt, topaz, tourmaline, and bone (dry bone exhibits some piezoelectric properties due to the apatite crystals, and the piezoelectric effect is generally thought to act as a biological force sensor). An example of man-made piezoelectric materials includes barium titanate and lead
  • The Top 5 Trends In Medical Device Manufacturing In 2019 And Beyond
    and sensors. Johnson Medtech offers a miniature medication dosing system that features a tiny geared motor, an optical sensor, a displacement sensor, and an optional force sensor. This system design is effective in preventing dosing inaccuracies in the most compact medication delivery devices. 5
  • An Innovative Cabling Concept Improves Reliability for Multi-Axis Stage Systems
    requiring multi-axis stage systems. Usually an object has to move in two, three or more degrees of freedom (DOF) including linear movements, rotary movements, tilt and/or lifting operations. Parallel kinematic drives like hexapods can easily provide 6 DOF quite elegantly, but in most cases a simple stacked
