"Compared to conventional sensors, it is completely immune to vibration," said Liam Lines, mechanical engineer with Weatherford. "It allows us to measure downhole angular rates in very high ...

Engineers who want to measure and control rotating antennas, fluid flow direction, or a robotic arm joint can now use a Two-Pi hallpot angle sensor from Elweco Inc.

Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision.

ZF Switches & Sensors is now offering a complete range of angular position sensors based on Hall Effect technology which responds to magnetic fields generated by a (rare-earth) magnet. The sensors ...

Most rotary position sensors have some effect on the motion they aim to measure. They also tend to complicate design, requiring shaft-to-shaft connections ...

Global automotive supplier Bosch announced yesterday its new cost-effective steering angle sensor went into series production. Dubbed LWS6, the product is suitable for ESP applications in vehicles ...

Recent research demonstrated the use of an angular rate sensor, based on magnetohydrodynamic principles, on Hybrid-Ill dummies and cadavers. Because of the sensor's compactness in size and light ...
