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 ...

The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

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 ...

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 fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

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 ...

Sensata Technologies Holding ST has introduced its brake pedal force sensor for electromechanical brakes, which improves braking by effectively capturing a driver’s braking intent. Automotive original ...

Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...
