It is now possible to simultaneously monitor six dimensions using a load cell. • The world of 6DoF load cells is characterized more by customization than by standards. • Multiaxis load cells measure ...

Torque demand is one of the first factors to consider, encompassing nominal torque, acceleration torque, and emergency torque.

The optimal size for a clutch or brake is determined by three things: Required torque, thermal horsepower per engagement, and average required thermal horsepower. Here, we'll discuss the first, ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

Here is a simple method for estimating the actual load on an electric motor without special equipment. But first, a word of caution: Some applications (e.g., a large forced draft fan) require more ...

With or without a clutch pedal, all cars have three elements that make up their performance combination: the car's weight, horsepower, and gear ratios. When a torque converter is added in place of a ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Physical testing is vital in a product’s journey from conception to its final destination, which involves client or patient interaction. Quality testing is integral in this process, occurring at ...
