Measurement of frictional torque of a directacting valvetrain using a shaft-to-shaft torque transducer to study the effect of Laser Surface Texturing on friction reduction [PDF]
The study of tribological applications requires measuring various parameters, including RPMs, friction, and wear. The useful information is sometimes not readily available in a measurement and requires further postprocessing to extract that information ...

A high - precision measurement chain for reference purposes
Reference transducers not only for high pressure (GPa) but also for high force (MN) and high torque (MN▪m) have been based on foil-type strain gauges for decades, due to their excellent signal-to-noise ratio and established, well-proven technology. Thus,

Mechanical Evidence of the Orbital Angular Momentum to Energy Ratio of Vortex Beams [PDF]
We measure, in a single experiment, both the radiation pressure and the torque due to a wide variety of propagating acoustic vortex beams. The results validate, for the first time directly, the theoretically predicted ratio of the orbital angular ...

Development of a non-contact torque transducer based on the laser speckle contrast method [PDF]
When a torque measurement is required, torque transducers show many drawbacks during their use: the usual limits are the need for contact and the effects on shaft line parameters. A new approach is proposed in this work: a non-contact torque meter for
