‘Vibration Measurement’

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 Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments: "Kistler's piezoelectric torque sensors have a wide measuring range and are adaptable to match most configurations, making them suited to manufacturing-process monitoring. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from ESI Group - take a look at Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat which says: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".

Take a look also at the news release from Wilcoxon Research, Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification, as well as Schunk toolholding suits five-axis machining from Schunk Intec, and Parker needle valve handles contaminated media from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK.
