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, ...

It is now possible to simultaneously monitor six dimensions using a load cell. • The world of 6DoF load cells is characterized more by customization than by standards. • Multiaxis load cells measure ...

Acromag’s TT351 load cell and strain gauge signal conditioners use software to quickly select from a wide variety of sensor measurement options. A USB port simplifies setup on a Windows PC or Android ...

The L.S. Starrett Company (Athol, MA, US) has introduced a comprehensive line of innovative, entry level computer-based force testing solutions for applications ranging from load limit and distance ...

Our old algebra teacher used to say, “You have to take what you know and use it to get what you don’t know.” That saying always reminds of us sensors that convert physical quantities into things our ...

Electronic instrumentation called data acquisition systems (DAQs or DASs) acquire data from sensors. They are often extended to be instrumentation and control systems. This is a tutorial presentation ...

Designing a sensing application involves circuitry for amplification of a sensor signal, its conditioning and, in most cases, conversion into digital form. This is achieved conventionally by using ...
