This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

To extend its reach in the force and strain measurement technology space, sensor supplier Baumer has acquired the Swiss company X-Sensors. For 25 years, X-Sensors has been developing and producing ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

Twist, bend and stretch The new stretchable sensor can detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The patterned cuts enable large deformation without ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

A new atomically-thick strain sensor is 100 times more sensitive than commercial devices and 10 times more sensitive than alternative versions based on graphene. According to its developers at China’s ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

Before jumping into a discussion of amplifiers and signal-conditioning circuitry, it is worthwhile to quickly review strain gauges. By definition, “strain” is an alteration due to an external force. A ...
