Having used one of Sensor
Technology's novel TorqSense
non-contact torque sensors as
an aid to product develop -
ment for many years,
peristaltic pumping specialist,
Watson-Marlow, has now
chosen another of the versatile
sensors for production-line
testing of its critical products.
The TorqSense sensor was selected for this demanding application because of its ease of use and the reliability and accuracy that has been consistently demonstrated by the similar unit in use in the development department.
A key element of pump testing prior to despatch is the determination of the relation - ship between the operating torque of the pump and the flow rate it delivers. In order to be able to measure this, a torque sensor that will deliver accurate and reliable results over long periods without adjustment or maintenance is needed. These requirements, can be met conveniently by using a sensor from the Sensor Technology TorqSense range.
