‘Rotary Switches’
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 switches offer distances up to 40mm from
Leuze Electronic: "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
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 Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw,
and Variohm unveils membrane potentiometer range from Variohm Eurosensor.
