Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

A force/torque sensor is a transducer that measures and outputs forces and torques. Six-axis units (also called multi-axis force/torque and F/T transducers) measure all three Cartesian coordinates: X, ...

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 ...

November 8, 2006 Historically, knee implants have been designed using predictions based on theoretical data. Now, a new smart knee replacement can wirelessly transmit multi-axis torque and force ...

Today’s surgeons demand medical devices that allow precise, repeatable movement and control, often in a compact footprint. Force and torque sensors along with advanced electronics can help deliver ...

6-Axis Force Torque Sensor Market is Segmented by Type (Strain Gauge Type, Piezoelectric/Capacitive Type, Others), by Application (Industrial Robots, Medical Robots ...

CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HITEC Sensor Developments, a leading designer and manufacturer of custom load cells and strain gage based force and torque sensors, is pleased to announce the ...

Reducing the moment of inertia improves the sensitivity of a mechanically based torque sensor, the parallel of reducing the mass of a force sensor, yet the correspondingly small displacements can be ...

Designed for systems integrators and engineers, the MF100 can be seamlessly embedded into pre-existing systems. The compact, ...

Fun fact: Dynometers do not measure horsepower, they measure torque. That torque figure, when multiplied by the rpm it is measured at, and then divided by 5,252, is essentially how a dyno derives a ...
