Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HBM, Inc. (www.hbm.com), a leading manufacturer of data acquisition systems, analysis and calibration software, strain gauges, transducers and sensors, introduces ...

What's a torque wrench? It's a referee, says Greg Katsis, marketing manager for Sturtevant Richmont, a manufacturer of torque-measurement systems in Franklin Park, Ill. It makes sure that big, burly ...

Four high-performance strain-gage sensors have been designed for measuring torque. The full-bridge 0143SD measures torque in any direction, suiting it for use in screw-driving-assembly applications, ...

In the simplest terms, torque represents how strong an engine is. It's the rotational force that translates into acceleration and, ultimately, speed. Torque determines how quickly a car launches off ...

In September, Sensor Developments Inc. (SDI) released the 01251 series of infrared dynamometer torque sensors. While inquiring about this new series, I quizzed Rick West, electronics design engineer ...

We'll spare you a full-on physics lesson, but some science concepts can't be avoided in this discussion. Torque travels from the engine into the transmission, then through the driveshafts and into the ...

Still can't figure out the difference between horsepower and torque? Here's the simplest, plain-English guide to engine power you’ll ever read.

Units of measurement are tricky. Ideally, the best ones will convey not just a cold tally of some length or velocity or whatever, but also suggest a sort of visceral feel of the concept being measured ...
