‘Rotary Motion’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments, which we summarised at the time by saying "SDI's model 01424 can be utilised with a variety of instrumentation systems to measure rotating torque, including the 90386 USB Sensor Link. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release HT Servo motor has integrated microstepping driver from HT Servo : "HT Servo has released its improved Silverpak 23D Plus, a high-torque NEMA 23-step motor with an integrated microstepping driver. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments - take a look at Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors which says: "Kistler's piezoelectric torque sensors have a wide measuring range and are adaptable to match most configurations, making them suited to manufacturing-process monitoring. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Freudenberg Simrit LP, Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing , as well as Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance from Galil Motion Control, and Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw.
