Engineers often want to monitor a shaft’s rotational speed but get bogged down trying to get sensors, signal conditioners, cabling, and bulky housings to work together. To solve this dilemma, ...

Electro-SensorsInc. announces the ST420, a loop-powered,stainless-steel analog shaft tachometer. The ST420 requires no usercalibration, providing a dependable shaft speed monitoring solution right ...

Tachometry, the measurement of the speed of spin of rotating objects, is a common application. Some of those objects, however, have quirky aspects that make them extra interesting, even scary. One ...

If you’re into anything even vaguely mechanical on the broad hacking spectrum, you’ve come into contact with things that spin. Sometimes, it’s important to know precisely how fast they are spinning!

This paper will discuss a Hall Effect Magnetic Solid State position/motion sensor. This new type of Probe Sensor functions by sensing a change in magnetic field intensity and converts this change into ...

Question: I have a 1992 Ford F-250 truck with a 7.3-liter diesel engine. When I am driving down the road at a steady pace, the transmission shifts in and out of overdrive. Also, the tachometer drops ...
