‘Rotating Shaft’

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 Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from Revolvo: "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from SKF UK - take a look at SKF units improve continuous-cast milling which says: "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker team to develop wind-energy technology, as well as Maintenance and repair of shaft assemblies from Henkel Loctite Adhesives, and Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments.
