In today’s industrial world, innovation is not optional – it’s essential. With industries facing growing pressure to increase efficiency, reduce costs, meet sustainability goals, and adapt to stricter regulations, one thing is clear: transformation begins with better measurement.
To determine the position of a linear axis, an encoder read head travels along a scale and “reads” changes in light (for optical encoders) or magnetic field (for magnetic types). As the read head registers these changes, it produces sine and cosine signals that are shifted 90 degrees from each other (referred to as “quadrature signals”). These analog sine and cosine sign...

In a lime plant in Poland there was a request to measure the amount of extracted lime in free fall after an air slide, integrating the flow of two installation points. Our customer had previously used impact plates, however this solution was not optimal and it always led to problems with mechanical components such as caking on the baffle, mechanical wear, dust, etc. As a...
The drag torque or Detent Torque is an important parameter in permanent mag¬net (PM) motors, especially in a PM servo motor system. Detent Torque of PM motors is composed of Cogging Torque and Friction Torque. The Cogging Torque is generated by attraction/interaction of the magnetic poles to the teeth (steel structure) within an un-energized motor. It is one of the most ...
If a load tap changer (LTC) fails, the entire transformer will shut down and that can cost a utility company millions of pounds, adding overtime pay for workers and additional expenses to expedite repair. The outage will also adversely affect numerous distribution circuits and the remaining power grid as the load will need to be re-routed to supply the affected circuits....

1. The Limitations of Single-Point Monitoring In traditional industrial automation control, flow sensors were once regarded merely as basic measurement terminals. In most engineering scenarios, their primary function was to capture real-time flow readings at specific points on pipelines and transmit the collected signals to host computers for simple logic control or clo...
A truck drives into the yard. The goods are received, inspected, stored. Everything runs as usual. A few hours or days later, another truck leaves the factory – loaded with finished product, ready for the customer. And somewhere in between lies an inconspicuous, often underestimated process: sampling. It only takes a few minutes. But it is precisely at this moment that i...
