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, ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant advancement in robotic tactile sensing technology. Researchers have developed a novel soft tactile unit named the F 3 T sensor, which can ...

The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...

November 8, 2006 Historically, knee implants have been designed using predictions based on theoretical data. Now, a new smart knee replacement can wirelessly transmit multi-axis torque and force ...

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.

In storms or other turbulence, pilots need to know how the plane is orientated and the angle at which the plane is tilted toward Earth’s surface. If the plane’s nose is tilted downward at a 45-degree ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a wearable sensor system capable of estimating braking and propulsion forces while running outdoors — a ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...
