The Model 357B65 high-temperature, piezoelectric charge output accelerometer operates in temperatures ranges of -65 to +900º F (-54 to +482º C), and is designed for vibration studies in the high-temperature, ambient environments found in power generation turbines and equipment, aircraft engines, and automotive vehicle engine test and exhaust systems.
The accelerometer connects to laboratory-style charge […]

CAN in Automation (CiA) GmbH has published the first Product Guide for J1939-based devices and services on the group’s web site and on CD-ROM. The guide lists products conforming to several J1939-based higher-layer protocols (SAE J1939-71, ISO 11992, ISO 11783, and NMEA 2000).
The aim of the product guide is to simplify the search for J1939-based […]

Fluke Corporation has just updated its Electrical Measurement Safety video. The goal is to reduce hazards for people measuring electrical circuits, and helping reduce risk and liability for employers.
Electrical safety compliance training violations were #7 (electrical wiring) and #10 (Electrical, General Requirements) on the 2005 Top 10 List of most frequently cited standards published […]

Expanding end-user application opportunities seems to suggest a strong revival in the saturated mechanical test equipment market. The demand for this equipment is no longer confined to traditional end-user industries such as automotive, aerospace, metals, plastics and ceramics but is rapidly growing in a wide range of new and relatively unexplored areas.
New analysis from Frost […]

This article was originally published in the June 23, 2006 issue of Sandia Lab News. While this system was developed for aircraft wiring harnesses, my guess is that it could also have applications in automotive testing….Dan
Airplane travelers addicted to worry sometimes fret about an engine failing or a wing falling off, but they rarely stress […]

The P820/G series claims to be the first threaded coaxial spring probe on the market. The new probes should find applications in the automotive test field, where threaded probes have largely taken over from the traditional plug-in probes. The probe has a choice of two tip styles, and mirrors the electrical characteristics of the P820 […]
