Although crankshaft and camshaft sensors are generally reliable, they can fail. But what should you expect to see if one of ...

Electrostatic sensing exploits the interaction between surface charge variations on a rotating component and a stationary electrode to deliver non-contact measurement of angular velocity. As a rotor ...

Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

A new self-powered bearing sensor system tracks speed and skidding in real time, offering precise, durable monitoring to improve industrial machine reliability. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Failures in ...

Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could make it possible for engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door has been opened, or gears inside a motor that tell a mechanic how fast ...
