First, let's revisit what torque is and why it's important. Torque is a measure of the forces that cause an object to rotate. Reaction torque is the force acting on the object that's not free to ...

Torque is defined as a twisting force that is applied to an object. On determining the torque of an engine, it is multiplied by RPM or rotations per minute and divided by “5,252”. This calculation ...

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 ...

Offering high-quality accurate measurements in a single device can improve performance and reduce cost. Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these ...

Tudor was lucky enough to be in Wales just as Sebastien Loeb was securing his 8th World Rally Championship title during Wales Rally GB 2011 and wrote a guest blog for ITV News covering the rally ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have levitated a tiny nanodiamond particle with a laser in a vacuum chamber, using the technique for the first time to detect and measure its "torsional vibration," ...

Marlborough, MA. HBM Inc. has added the new compact T40HS torque transducer, intended for measuring torque at high rotational speeds. It offers high stiffness, is made of light titanium, and ensures ...

What do you brag about when you talk about your high-performance car? Most likely, you’ll talk about the engine displacement, number of cylinders, and the overall horsepower. Torque tends to take a ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - Tomorrow's nonvolatile memory devices – computer memory that can retain stored information even when not powered – will profoundly change electronics, and Cornell University researchers ...
