‘Variable Torque’
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 Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from
Abssac: "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK
- take a look at Parker team to develop wind-energy technology
which says: "Parker Hannifin has expanded its range of products, systems and customer services in the power sector. ".
Take a look also at the news release from HT Servo , HT Servo motor has integrated microstepping driver,
as well as MX7 grinder makes tools with up to 16mm diameters from Anca Industrial Supplies,
and Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments.
