alpha & Wittenstein Increase Measurement Accuracy
New sensor technology from alpha & Wittenstein integrates torque and force sensors into the housing of servo gear reducers, enabling measurements to be more precise. The alphaIQ loads sensors to the gearbox, which allows all mechanical loads to be processed; this includes torques, shear forces, speed, thermal loads, wear and backlash. Computer software comes with the product, so the variables can be displayed on a PC.
Power Transmission Engineering is THE magazine of mechanical components. PTE is written for engineers and maintenance pros who specify, purchase and use gears, gear drives, bearings, motors, couplings, clutches, lubrication, seals and all other types of mechanical power transmission and motion control components.
