We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rotating Shaft",
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 Vibration sensor handles high-temperature duties from
Sensonics, which we summarised at the time by saying "ATEX approved vibration transducer is designed for use on gas turbines".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Torque sensor provides extruder data from
Sensor Technology: "The TorqSense torque sensor collects data via a radio signal rather than being hardwired to the extruder".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Sensor Technology
concerning its TorqSense torque sensor
- take a look at Torque proves crucial improve plastic recycling
which says: "Research into cold extrusion of recycled plastic depends on a digital TorqSense torque sensor, which uses Surface acoustic wave techniques to provide noncontact measurements".
Take a look also at the news release from Sensonics, Proximity probes survive 240C heat,
as well as Rotary encoders shrink to 40mm diameter from Pepperl+Fuchs GB,
and Seal kit repairs - will they really do any good? from Hydraulic Pumps (UK).
