We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Contact Pressure",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Maintenance-free bearings need no lubrication from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "The PTFE in the slideway lining ensures functional reliability and enables maintenance-free operation for the life of the part".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Planar sensors measure moisture content from
Tews Elektronik: "Moisture sensors play important role at several stages during the production of MDF building materials".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Analogue and Digital Services
concerning its Evolution USB handle
- take a look at Instant USB connection for pressure sensors
which says: "The I-Scan system allows instant USB connection of Tekscan's 0.1mm thick Mylar pressure sensors to any notebook PC running Windows XP".
Take a look also at the news release from Horizon Instruments, Laser welders optimise plastics bonding,
as well as Test exposes unreliability of look-alike seals from Freudenberg Simrit LP,
and Students to use online shaft calculation software from Schaeffler (UK).
