The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engineers who want to measure and control rotating antennas, fluid flow direction, or a robotic arm joint can now use a ...

Einstein's theory of gravity predicts that a rotating body, such as Earth, partially drags inertial frames along with its rotation. Scientists suggest a novel approach to measuring what is referred to ...

Controlling an earthmoving machine to perform a task requires knowing exactly where its bucket or blade contacts the dirt. Therefore, in addition to knowing the machine’s position, it is necessary to ...

RSE 1500 series rotary position sensors measure the position of quarter-turn valves, flue dampers, weir gates, dancer arm tensioners, and of other applications involving fractional-turn movements.

Based on its recent analysis of the rail acceleration and rotation rate sensors market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Advanced Sensors Calibration (ASC) GmbH with the 2014 European Frost & Sullivan ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Honda Motor has been granted a patent for a control apparatus that corrects errors in the angle measurement of a rotor in an electric motor. The apparatus determines whether a correction process has ...

Engineers at Tufts University have created and demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can measure movement of the neck, providing data on the direction, angle of rotation and degree of ...
