Non-Contact Torque Sensors Increase Fuel Economy, Improve Ride Comfort and Safety

Torque Sensors     In order to determine the most suitable torque sensor, it is necessary to understand the application and environment. Some applications may require underwater sensors, while others may only need a torque sensor. The type of mounting and assembly is also important. Some are mounted flange-to-flange, while others are mounted shaft-to-shaft. The torque sensors must be able to detect the rotational force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.   The most common design for a torque sensor uses bonded strain gauge technology. The strain gauges are bonded to a shaft with a 45-degree inclination. The application will determine the type of cross-section and materials used for the shaft. Depending on the application, a cruciform, square, or a circular cross-section is appropriate. Some torque sensors are made from a combination of these materials.   When selecting a torque sensor, make sure to consider its physical and environmental requirements. The temperature, hu

Spintronics Is an Advanced Technology, Which Is Believed To Change the Future of Quantum Computing In the World

  Spintronics Market   Spintronics is getting researched all over the world, including in regions such as Germany, Mexico, and Japan. Spintronics is a promising technology that could help to make computers and other devices that are faster, more reliable, and more energy-efficient. It can be used to produce information in binary code, which can represent 0 and 1 in logic operations. Today, most materials for spintronics are metal-based, which can interfere with electrons' spin. However, a semiconductor-based spintronic device could have a higher amplification power and be more widely used in electronics. This would also allow manufacturers to combine the functionality of conventional semiconductor technologies with the performance of spintronics.   Spintronic devices are a new type of technology that uses the fundamental property of electrons, their spin, for information processing. This is similar to electronics, which uses electrons' electrical charge to carry information. Wi

Vibration Sensor; a Device That Measures the Amount and Frequency of Vibration

  Vibration Sensor   Vibration sensors are piezoelectric accelerometers that sense vibration; they widely are used to measure fluctuating speeds/accelerations or for normal vibration measurement. These sensors are flexible devices used to measure various processes. Vibration sensors use the piezoelectric effects, measuring changes within temperature, pressure, acceleration, or force by changing to an electrical charge. The maximum amplitude or range of the vibration being measured will determine the range of the sensor that can be used.   The vibration sensor measures several different parameters by converting vibration into electrical equivalent output. These sensors can be used to measure vibrations in the rotary machines and help detect faults in machine components. Moreover, they help improve safety because it is able to detect frequencies that can harm both machinery and people working with or on them, thereby improving the accuracy of the machinery. Vibration sensors further ens
