‘Torque Transducer’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Actuator system for sampling applications from
Heason Technology: "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Ricardo
- take a look at Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission
which says: "Ricardo has been awarded a contract by Moscow-based Kate to partner it in the development of a seven-speed automatic transmission for use in Avtovaz cars.".
Take a look also at the news release from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, DC motors engineered for transportation purposes,
as well as Wireless torque wrench has multiple tracking from Mountz,
and Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units from EMS.
