Optimization of vehicle drivetrain performance has been an important endeavor for decades. So too has the quest for increased automotive engine fuel efficiency. Engine torque monitoring aids in both ...

In the “old days,” cars were rear-wheel drive (RWD), which meant that the engine sent its power and torque to the two back wheels through the transmission and driveshaft. However, that started to ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Anytime force—either a push or a pull-is applied to an object and an opposite reaction takes place, work happens. For example, when meathead's El Camino breaks down and he pushes it home, work occurs.

View post: Several Major Storm Warnings Wreak Havoc: 60 MPH Winds, SFO Delays, 40+ Inches of Snow Torque wrenches are great tools that should be in every toolbox. They’re designed to apply the ...

Because of its ability to quickly and effectively loosen or tighten different fasteners, an impact wrench is a practical and effective power tool. Capable of providing high torque, impact wrenches are ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

Reducing the moment of inertia improves the sensitivity of a mechanically based torque sensor, the parallel of reducing the mass of a force sensor, yet the correspondingly small displacements can be ...
