Torque Sensors for Test Stand Technology,
Motive Power Engineering, Process Monitoring and Quality Assurance |
| |
 |
New product brochure "torque sensors" No. 900-900e. When torque rods or
fast running drive shafts are used, knowledge of the torques occurring
provides information about the static and dynamic loads on machinery. In
addition, when this knowledge is combined with engine speed
measurements, it becomes a simple matter to determine the power of a
drive train. |
|
|
The new product brochure “Torque Sensors” clearly illustrates the
current Kistler range of piezoelectric torque sensors and torque
sensors based on strain gage technology. This document outlines the most
important applications and provides a brief explanation of the
construction and method of operation of the sensors. Clear tables help
the reader to determine which sensor is suitable and which accessories
are required. The brochure, which is aimed at measuring engineers,
quality assurance personnel as well as manufacturers and operators of
testing systems, is available in German and English. ... |

LEM introduces Minisens ASIC transducer
in SO-8 package for isolated current measurement |
| |
 |
LEM introduces Minisens, a miniature, integrated circuit
transducer for AC and DC isolated current measurement up to 100 KHz.
This new component offers full isolation (no optocouplers required) and
high sensitivity (from 20 mV to 200 mV per Amp of primary current) with
no insertion losses. It is mounted directly onto a printed circuit board
as an SMD device, reducing manufacturing cost. |
|
|
Minisens integrates, within one mixed signal ASIC, Hall-effect sensors
with a magnetic concentrator to allow direct current measurement without
the need for an additional magnetic core. The non-contact measurement
enables an almost unlimited current level as it eliminates the need for
current to flow through the device. The only limiting factor is the
thermal capacities of the primary conductor. The current can be carried
either by a track (or tracks) located on a PCB underneath the Minisens,
or by a cable or bus bar under or above the IC. The unlimited design
possibilities for the primary conductor allow current measurement up to
70 A or even higher. Many parameters of the ASIC can be configured by
on-chip non-volatile memory: adjustment of the transducer’s gain,
offset, polarity, temperature drift and gain algorithm (proportional to,
or independent of VDD). ... |

Heavy-duty FS series frame sensor |
| |
 |
Frame sensors used for counting metal parts are subject to extremely
high mechanical stresses – falling metal parts can hit the sensor’s
optical components or the connector and the sensor is often used in
environments where fine drops of oil from the production process are
likely to be an issue. STM introduces the FS series, an
especially robust model from the proven range of STM RLS frame sensors. |
|
|
The optical elements are slightly recessed to protect them from being
hit by parts falling through the frame. An optional M12 pigtail
connector can be used to remove the connector from the “heavy duty”
range. The FS series has protection class IP67 and a mineral
oil-impervious seal. This makes it ideal for use in harsh environments,
such as counting metal parts in reject control applications. Despite its
robustness, the FS series has a resolution of up to 1 mm, which is
significantly higher than that of its predecessor. The sensors function
dynamically. Pulse extension setting is possible. Each variant can be
operated with PNP or NPN output. For special applications, the frame
sensor can be converted by the customer into a U-shaped sensor through
removal of a traverse element. ... |
