SAN ANTONIO -- Oct. 29, 2018 -- A new, more powerful generation of a patented Southwest Research Institute magnetostrictive sensor withstands extreme temperatures, automatically adjusts frequencies ...

A new, more powerful generation of a magnetostrictive sensor withstands extreme temperatures, automatically adjusts frequencies and incorporates a stronger magnet. A new, more powerful generation of a ...

Engineers have created the next generation of transducers that use ultrasonic guided wave technology to detect anomalies in pipes, enabling users to prevent leaks before they start. Southwest Research ...

AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an ...

The ONPP-A magnetostrictive transducer installs directly to pneumatic-cylinder surfaces and measures the position of a standard poston magnet. The transducer automatically performs recognition and ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.

Magnetostrictive transducers, used for controlling motion in injection moulding machines, offer a noncontact and wear-free mode of operation. The magnetic position marker can be guided over the ...

Pipeline operators will be able to detect leaks before they occur with a Magnetostrictive Transducer (MsT) Collar developed at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas. Southwest ...

New expressions are given in the present paper for the output signals and input power requirements for the three principal torque sensor designs -- the branch, cross, and solenoidal designs.

Magneto-strictors are magnetic analogs of piezoelectric materials. They change dimensions whenever they become magnetized, making them intrinsically-ferromagnetic. In a magnetostrictive material, ...
