In space, temperatures, pressures and forces are different from those in the environments we are familiar with. This means that measurement technology “up there” is exposed to specific stresses. WIKA has now developed, tested and supplied special force transducers …

Why the calibration of (force) measuring instruments is important
| Markus Heidl | Calibration, ProductsEveryone involved in measurement technology knows the somewhat flippant – but very catchy – statement: “If you measure a lot, you measure nothing!” What is meant by this is: You can measure a lot. But the values are only useful if you can validate them. In …
Five reasons why force measurement is important
| Markus Heidl | Know-howWIKA has been an internationally recognised partner for all measurement tasks for many decades. The product portfolio includes pressure, temperature, force and level measurement, as well as flow measurement, calibration and SF 6 gas solutions. In the following …
CANopen: digital instead of analogue signals
| Markus Heidl | Know-howUnlike an analogue signal, which as a physical quantity can take on continuous values, a digital signal consists of discrete values. Personally, I always think of long strings of zeros and ones floating through space: 0101 0111 0100 1001 0100 1011 0100 0001 0011 1101 …
Check friction clutches using the chain hoist test set
| Markus Heidl | ForceChain hoists are used for lifting and lowering freely moving loads. As a lifting device, the chain hoist supports, for example, ergonomic lifting during assembly work or even makes this possible in the first place. Conveyor technology or crane systems are further …
