Geislinger Debuts

GMS Mark4

At the SMM exhibition in Hamburg last month, Geislinger unveiled its fourth genera- tion of an instrument designed to continuously monitor torsional vibration amplitudes. The instrument — Geislinger Monitoring GMS

Mark4 — has three monitoring functions for which the software is tailored to the specific requirements: detection of engine misfiring; mon- itoring of the Geislinger Damper; and monitoring of the coupling. For processing the calculated val- ues, the system unit can be connected to a PC and the data can be sent directly to Geislinger for analysis. Type approval is from DNV, electrical and environmental testing according to IACS E-10 rules. The company reasons that optimal operation of the engine is delivered from an early detec- tion of problems, yielding increased service life.

K-TEK

The KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge from K-

TEK not only measures acids, solvents, petro- chemicals and liquid to liquid inter- faces in a variety of industries but is safe for total and interface applica- tions that are toxic, corrosive, flam- mable or high pressure and yet is easy and safe to maintain with no gauge glasses to clean. In addition, the KM26 MGL is cost-effective. It can cost far less than replacement glass, gaskets & cushions. K-TEK is a NA manufacturer of mgls that offer extruded outlet connections that attach to the KM26 to the storage vessel eliminating distortions to the chamber affect- ing float travel and alignment problems.

HBM

HBM data acquisition systems and software has released its new T10FS series of torque transducers.

Featuring higher speeds and smaller mass moments of iner- tia than its counterpart the

T10F Torque Flange, the

T10FS is designed for high- performance automotive testing applications where high speeds with accuracy are required. The T10FS is based on a modified

T10F measuring body, and similarly uses the transverse stress measurement principle.

Primary applications for the T10FS include

Formula One engine test stands, transmission test stands and chassis roll test stands.

Sensotec

Sensotec intro- duces the applica- tion of force mea- surement technol- ogy to traditional resistance wield- ing techniques.

By combining the Model, WEL weld-thru load ceil with a Model WGM Weldmeter, it is possible to control the electrode force at the time of firing for spot and projection welds.

This technology works in combination of the new constant voltage weld controllers to pro- vide an economical control system which trig- gers the weld when the proper force is reached.
