Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Technologies such as load cells are too bulky or obtrusive to measure loads in some tight spaces; that’s where thin, flexible force sensors come into play. However, flexible force-sensing technology ...

Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

As electronics replace legacy hydraulic components in brake-by-wire systems, different sensing technologies are needed for brake pedal sensing. Sensata’s Brake Pedal Force sensor for electromechanical ...

Robots may soon mimic the human sense of touch, with advances in flexible tactile detection aiming to endow them with the ability to sense friction and slip. Polymer optical fiber knots are at the ...

Sensors Expo this year premiered a new technical-program track titled “Novel Approaches to Measurement and Detection” in conjunction with EE-Evaluation Engineering. Sessions addressing topics ranging ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...
