Digital torque sensor is low-cost
An in-line digital torque sensor which is easy to use, accurate and low cost, is said to be ideal as the core of any automotive motor test bed.
Fire sprinkler systems get safety torque
The TorqSense unit from Sensor Technology has changed validating process for bespoke Fireset sprinkler systems built by Grundfos Pumps in Leighton Buzzard.
Said Sensor Technology's International Sales manager, Mark Ingham: "We are used to the major continental shows in Europe and America and we have been exhibiting regularly in the Far East for some years.
But the Asian markets are developing so fast that their exhibitions evolve significantly from year to year, and it's a region we want to expand into." Sensor Technology's main product of interest is TorqSense, the 'Plug-and-Play' digital torque sensor, which picks up and analyses a radio signal from a miniature piezo electric detector fixed on the rotating shaft being monitored.
It can be set up in minutes and generates a variety of digital and analog outputs that can be read locally by a technician or transmitted to computers and control systems.
Unlike other torque transducers, TorqSense is mechanically simple with its sensors fixed to the shaft and a rotating RF antenna used to allow coupling with its digital electronics and immunity from magnetic fields.
There is no need for using complicated and delicate slip rings or large transformer assemblies to obtain signals.
Users can have a better representation of the drive system being measured.
"It is simple to set up and reliable in use, characteristics that are much appreciated in industries everywhere, and particularly relevant in China where production engineers strive to be as self-reliant as possible." said Ingham.
Sensor Technology has been expanding into the global market since the launch of its RWT TorqSense series and has found exhibitions, along with establishing a network of distributors, to be the best way to find new contacts.
"Our technology is radical stuff - potential users really need to see it to appreciate it, and tend to want technical discussions immediately.
Our distributors also need to have a good understanding and these shows, we find help to make contacts and often orders flow quickly thereafter," concluded Ingham. Request free introductory details about products from Sensor Technology ...
