Low capacity torque sensors open up new worlds of plant and machinery control
New low capacity models of Sensor Technology’s non-contact torque sensors offer accurate measurement down to 200mNm (0.2Nm), for applications such as precision and high speed robots, medical devices, protheses and implants, small drives and micro motors.

World’s best vacuum seals tested but not touched
TorqSense, a non-contact digital torque monitoring system that could guarantee an infinite lightness of touch has proven to be the only way to test the seals of super high performance vacuum systems. The ultimate fields of precision manufacture, such as electronics, biophysics and thin film deposition where tolerances are measured in atoms, are often conducted in hard vacuum to remove airborne contaminants and avoid the performance reducing effects of tiny air movements. However the vast majority of vacuum...

Sensors will define the future of production and technology
This past year it has been difficult to open an engineering magazine and not read about the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 or Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2MC). But all the hype and predictions will come to naught if sensor manufacturers don’t rise to the challenges before them, says Tony Ingham of Sensor Technology Ltd in Oxfordshire. The idea of Industry 4.0 first came to mass attention just a couple of years ago, when it was a theme of the massive Hanover Fair in Germany. Experts and...

New wireless torque technology
Sensor Technology has launched a new range of non-contact torque sensors based on a full four element strain gauge bridge design, complementing its existing non-contact sensors that use surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection. Designated the TorqSense SGR510/520 series, the new units have a 250% overrange reading capacity, allowing sudden spikes in torque to be measured and recorded accurately. The design also compensates for any extraneous forces, such as bending moments, inadvertently applied to the sensor,...

Pay as you sense
Equipment rentals are increasingly helping companies overcome the hurdle of finding investment capital to fund development and verification projects. The current phase of the economic cycle, recovery from a slowdown, is always difficult and frustrating, as Mark Ingham of Sensor Technology identifies: “Companies are seeing their markets improve, but don’t have the reserves to finance all the activities that will kickstart their sales. What money there is has to be used carefully, which usually means...

Torque sensor improves efficiency of a city car
The teams at Eco-Runner Delft ( TU Delft ) have been working on building the world`s most efficient hydrogen-powered car since 2005 . Same task, new team: every year a new student team takes on the task of designing and building a hydrogen-powered car so that it can compete against teams from all over Europe in the Shell Eco-Marathon. This year (2019-2020) the TU Delft team decided to build not just an efficient hydrogen car, but an efficient car especially for the city. The practical aspects came to the fore....
