‘Torsional Vibration’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems from Adaptaflex, which we summarised at the time by saying "A guide to specifying flexible conduit systems for the rail industry has been launched by Adaptaflex.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels from Endress+Hauser: "Endress and Hauser's Liquiphant is a vibrating level switch for accurate limit detection and point level-measurement of liquids.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Minus K Technology - take a look at Minus K vibration isolators for space telescope which says: "Minus K Technology has been selected by ITT Space Systems to provide vibration isolators for the ground testing of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). ".

Take a look also at the news release from Misumi, Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices, as well as FAG Dtect prevents power-turbine failure at Corus from Schaeffler (UK), and Sherborne angular sensors are weatherproof from Sherborne Sensors.
