Rather than using conventional bolts, some automakers rely on torque-to-yield bolts for specific engines. But why are these ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

It is now possible to simultaneously monitor six dimensions using a load cell. • The world of 6DoF load cells is characterized more by customization than by standards. • Multiaxis load cells measure ...

Bring up the subject of time, torque, and inertia with a mechanical engineer, and his or her eyes are likely to light up. Most engineers, during their undergraduate career, get a firm grounding in ...

Wheel fasteners that feel rock solid in the service bay can quietly loosen once you are back at highway speed, which is why ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.
