Application Reports on Industrial Process Control
Cracking connection rods - The new manufacturing process
Almost every internal combustion engine uses connecting rods to convert the linear movement of the pistons into the rotational movement of the crankshaft. If split connecting rods are used, the connection rod eye lower end must...
Snag protection: Safety for harbor cranes with HBM measurement chain
Speed and economy are counterpoints to safety in load systems. Heavy electric motors are used as drives with safety brakes and safety couplings that have reaction times of less than one millisecond.
Monitoring small forces safely and reliably using HBM piezo force measurement technology
When testing sensitive components it is essential that small forces or torques be reliably measured. Full integrity of switches or control elements must be ensured. A typical example for an application is the final testing of...
EMG PRESSES rely on MP85A FASTpress
The company LONG EMG is headquartered at Annecy in France, and has been making mechanical pneumatic and hydraulic presses of 3.5 kN to 800 kN since 1966. They are regular users of HBM´s force transducers and with the recent...
Five test steps, one solution: FASTpress for the final inspection of highly complex steering systems
Modern steering systems in vehicles have highly complex functions – and therefore have significant influence on the driving and safety feeling.
