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, ...

The piezoelectric sensors operate according to the piezoelectric effect: electric polarisation occurs upon mechanical deformation of crystals with polar axes. Depending on the cross section, in quartz ...

Sensors play a large role in gathering information in a multitude of automotive and aerospace test setups. Brett Burger, an engineer at National Instruments specializing in aerospace applications, ...

When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...
