Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

What's a torque wrench? It's a referee, says Greg Katsis, marketing manager for Sturtevant Richmont, a manufacturer of torque-measurement systems in Franklin Park, Ill. It makes sure that big, burly ...

Researchers have measured the twisting force, or torque, generated by light on a silicon chip. Their work holds promise for applications such as miniaturized gyroscopes and torsional sensors to ...

We'll spare you a full-on physics lesson, but some science concepts can't be avoided in this discussion. Torque travels from the engine into the transmission, then through the driveshafts and into the ...

This may seem like a bit of an overstatement. But if you need to measure torque and you have not looked at new technologies lately, you may be in for a big surprise. New ways of mounting, installing, ...

A little while ago I had one of those immensely annoying – and unwinnable – arguments in an online forum with a guy I’d never met. You’d think the touchy topic was the wisdom of wearing a face mask (I ...

In the simplest terms, torque represents how strong an engine is. It's the rotational force that translates into acceleration and, ultimately, speed. Torque determines how quickly a car launches off ...

Still can't figure out the difference between horsepower and torque? Here's the simplest, plain-English guide to engine power ...

In September, Sensor Developments Inc. (SDI) released the 01251 series of infrared dynamometer torque sensors. While inquiring about this new series, I quizzed Rick West, electronics design engineer ...
