‘Rotary Stages’

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 Leuze develops data tracking for production line from Leuze Electronic: "Luxottica has worked with Leuze to develop a complete system for the collection of production tracking data on specific sunglasses production lines. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Henkel Loctite Adhesives - take a look at Preventing failures in centrifugal pumps which says: "This guide has been developed to assist maintenance personnel who service industrial centrifugal pumps. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Kistler Instruments, Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors, as well as Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing from Freudenberg Simrit LP, and Ceram tests resilience of YSZ used in implants from CERAM.
