Drive train optimisation by dynamic torque measurement based on advanced sensor telemetry

In order to optimise a vehicle's drive train, it is imperative to measure the dynamic torque on the drive train during every type of manoeuvre. Such measurement is indispensable for tuning the vehicle and optimising drive train efficiency. This in turn increases driving comfort and fatigue life . When developing new vehicles an optimised drive train is a significant competitive advantage.

Accelerometro a tecnologia capacitiva

Variable Capacitance Accelerometers with Piezoresistive Electrical Interface, 7600B Series

Dytran Instruments has just released a new technology of high performance, variable capacitance (VC) accelerometers.  The 7600B series is a family of DC response accelerometers which were designed to directly replace piezoresistive units in new or existing applications. 
The 7600B series accelerometers utilize a capacitive sensing element and an advanced ASIC to simulate the operation of a piezoresistive bridge.  It combines an integrated VC accelerometer chip with high drive, low impedance buffering for measuring acceleration in aerospace, automotive, commercial and industrial environments.

Sensori a Filo Micro-Epsilon - Guida alle Applicazioni

Draw-wire displacement measurement is classified as a contact measurement method. Every draw-wire sensor consists of the basic wire elements, drum and spring motor (combined as mechanics) and a potentiometer or encoder for the measurement signal generation.

Draw-wire sensors are ideal for applications with large measuring ranges, small sensor dimensions and when a low cost solution is required. Depending on the sensor design, the wire is normally an extremely thin steel wire, which is sheathed with polyamide. The wire is around 0.8mm thick on average, depending on the type of stress forces involved.

Benefits of draw-wire sensors are:

- Very compact design compared to the measuring range

- Telescopic measurement principle

- Very robust sensors

- Measuring wire can be deflected using deflection pulleys

- Low cost solution

Sensore di misura Magnetico-Induttivo fino a 45 mm

Micro-Epsilon's mainSensor (MAgneto-INductive sensor) is a new alternative in the field of wear-free distance measurement. The measurement object is represented by a small magnet, which can be easily attached via a hole drilled in any non-ferromagnetic support. Similar to Hall Effect sensors, the measuring principle is based on changes in the magnetic field strength.

Through a new method (patent-pending) there is a linear relationship between output signal and displacement change, and not between signal and magnetic field strength, as with a Hall Effect sensor. In this way, displacements of 45mm can be detected in high resolution.

New Accelerometer for Aircraft Vibration Monitoring, Model 3309A

Dytran has released a new piezoelectric accelerometer designed for vibration monitoring on both commercial and military aircraft.  Model 3309A is a ring-style charge mode accelerometer, and is capable of operating at temperatures up to +482°F (+250°C).  The ability of the 3309A to operate under high temperatures, coupled with a high natural frequency, makes this unit ideal for engine vibration monitoring and various types of high-performance engine analysis.
Model 3309A is offered with a sensitivity of 5 pC/g and utilizes quartz, shear technology.  It is hermetically sealed for reliable operation within high-humidity and dirty environments, as well as case-isolated to avoid annoying ground loop interference.  Case ground isolation is achieved by internally isolating the accelerometer element from the outer housing. This accelerometer features a radial 3-pin "Mighty Mouse" connector, as well as a miniature through-hole design which allows for the sensor to be turned 360 degrees prior to securing, aiding the user during sensor installation.

Misura della temperatura di una valvola motore

The company Manner has developed a further new valve telemetry product, specially designed for the online measurement of dynamic valve temperature profiles on car motors under operating conditions. The distinctive feature of this product is the miniaturised telemetric measurement amplifier with its special form. The complete ring-shaped telemetric measurement amplifier with integrated antenna (outside diameter 20 mm, inside diameter 7 mm, height 4 mm) is mounted directly onto the valve plunger. Due to its low weight of just 2g, the retroaction on the valve train is negligible. The valve train’s spring plate serves as the carrier. The system operates with robust thermocouple elements which effortless withstand the high acceleration forces and are simple to mount. The temperature resistant telemetric measurement amplifier can be deployed at ambient temperatures of up to 160°C and operates on a purely digital basis with 12 bit resolution. The pick up, mounted at a generous distance, scans in the measurement values on a non-contact basis and transmits them via cable to the stationary evaluation unit. The valves may rotate during operation. Characteristic for this product is that continual signal contact is not required. Thanks to the patented, maintenance-free, inductive sensortelemetry transmission technology, the system’s action time is practically unlimited.

La tecnologia FLEX apre nuove possibilità alla metrologia nelle trasmissioni.

Due to the growing demand for weight reduction, transmission units have become increasingly compact. That also means that available space for the installation of measuring devices inside the transmission, for example ,operational stability of individual components, like gears, shafts, or synchronising rings is at a premium. Since, however, structural integrity must not be compromised, no additional installation space for metrology can be provided by, for example, simply using thinner materials. In response to these recent demands, Manner has now developed an innovative, flexible sensor signal amplifier based on flex substrate technology for strain gauge and temperature measurement tasks.

Torsiometro per misure avviamento trattori agricoli

The company Manner has developed a new high-precision torque measuring sensor

for torque and power output monitoring at the power take-off shaft (PTO) in

agricultural vehicles. The sensor is particularly compact and fits directly onto the

PTO. It has the degree of protection IP65 and is completely maintenance-free. The

stator is mounted on the shaft and is secured against rotation by means of a chain.

In addition to measuring torque levels up to 5 kNm, the system also provides highresolution

speed monitoring using 180 pulses per revolution. The digital telemetric

transmission technology guarantees 100 percent interference-free transmission of

the measuring signal. Characteristic of the strain gauge based sensor is its high

accuracy down to 0.1% of the measuring range, its extremely low temperature drift in

the range -35 to +125°C as well as its compact construction (length = 50 mm). The

measuring signal can be monitored either as an analogue signal (e.g. 0 to ±10 Volt)

and/or digitally via USB or CAN Bus.
