Rotary torque sensors are optionally equipped with an encoder that outputs the shaft speed and angle very accurately. These outputs are used for torsional and rotational vibration studies. Speed measurement and angle outputs are essential in dynamometer applications, where they are used to calculate out...
And on dynamometers, which measure the force, power, or speed produced by engines and machines. Artwork: Old-fashioned exercise bikes use springs or pulleys to drag on the back wheel, providing an adjustable amount of resistance to make your muscles work harder; newer machines are as likely ...
It is run on the dynamometer (which measures engine power output) for 30 minutes to break it in. The engine is then inspected. The filters are checked for excess metal shavings to make sure no abnormal wear has taken place. If it passes that test, it goes back on the dynamometer for a...
The driver plans exactly what he will do, and then executes it when he arrives at that section. At that point, he is thinking about the next section of the track, and so on. In all this planning, the driver factors both the car he is trying to catch and the cars that are trying ...
