‘Torque Transducers’
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 Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from
Endevco: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Heason Technology
- take a look at Actuator system for sampling applications
which says: "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. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Ricardo, Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission,
as well as DC motors engineered for transportation purposes from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products,
and Wireless torque wrench has multiple tracking from Mountz.
