articleSensing the future of production and technology
While it’s now common to see references to the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 or Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2MC), these ideas will come to naught if sensor manufacturers don’t grasp the nettle, says Tony Ingham
newsTorque sensor reaches deep inside
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY’s latest torque sensor has a removable head that can reach deep inside machinery, while keeping sensitive electronics safe from harm.
productNew wireless torque technology
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY has launched a new range of non-contact torque sensors based on a full four element strain gauge bridge design, complementing its existing non-contact sensors that use surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection.

articleNon-contact technology: Simplifying torque monitoring
Monitoring torque in a drive shaft is one of the best ways of assessing the performance of plant and machinery. However because drive shafts rotate, hard wiring a sensor into place usually requires the use of a delicate slip ring. An alternative solution is to use a non-contact radio frequency detector to monitor ‘Surface Acoustic Waves’ (SAWs), as Mark Ingham of Sensor Technology, explains
