‘Vibration Resistance’
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 Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from
Sherborne Sensors: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Endevco
- take a look at Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig
which says: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Birchwood Casey, Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion,
as well as Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems from Adaptaflex,
and Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels from Endress+Hauser.
