When Running Ethernet Cable Becomes the Problem: Wireless vs Wired Remote I/O Connecting a sensor, instrument or actuator to a control system sounds straightforward—until the required Ethernet cable must cross a roadway, production line, hazardous area or existing facility. At that …
Why distance matters during field balancing Balancing a fan, rotor or other rotating assembly normally involves more than one measurement. The technician records the original vibration, adds a known trial weight, calculates a correction and then checks the result. Depending on …
When support ends but the mission continues A rugged computer can remain central to a vehicle, aircraft or other mission-critical platform long after its original components become difficult to source. The operational requirement may not have changed at all. However, the …
Small torque fluctuations inside a gearbox, electric motor or driveline can create noticeable noise and vibration. Yet engineers often struggle to measure these events because the component may simultaneously transmit thousands of newton metres of torque. A conventional torque sensor may …
Chemical tank level monitoring gives operators remote visibility of stored liquids across industrial, agricultural and processing facilities.
