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 ...

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 ...

Analysing a system’s dynamic features is critical, especially when it exhibits nonlinearity and fluctuating coefficients. Understanding and correctly interpreting these metrics is vital for ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is emerging as a streamlined communication technology for industrial automation, transmitting data and power over long distances, unifying systems and enhancing security.

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 ...
