Vishay has added five solenoid-based haptic actuators to its IHPT range, which come with operation licenses from Immersion Corporation. There are four sizes, from 29 x 21mm to 44 x 37mm, that can provide forces up to 120N. Not immediately obvious from the photo, each transducer us in two parts: the top left part is a separate laminated metal bar ...

Sick of Hertfordshire has introduced a vibration, shock and temperature monitor for measuring signs of approaching machine failure. The harsh environment MPB10 Multi-Physics Box bolts on to industrial machines, including electric motors, pumps, fans and conveyor systems. “The MPB10 provides service data to enable predictive maintenance practices that can improve plant availability, maximise operating life, protect product quality and protect process ...

Aiming at vibration-based equipment condition monitoring, Analog Devices has introduced a kit for hardware, software and algorithm development that will interface with data analysis tools including Matlab and Python. Called CN0549, its hardware includes a dc – 10kHz MEMS vibration sensor board (see photo), a characterised mounting cube for the sensor, a data acquisition system reference design (top board) and an embedded ...

Alps Alpine has revealed more about its high-power haptic vibrator, following Dialog Semi’s announcment of the driver chip inside it yesterday. Haptic Reactor Heavy Type is intended for touch feedback, primarily in automotive applications. “There is currently growing demand for vibrational feedback, which allows more intuitive control and does not require any shift of gaze,” according to the company. Heavy Type ...

For anyone who has ever sat next to a vibration table, as I have, I couldn’t resist printing a picture of this luxury-grade monster. It is a six-degrees-of-freedom machine (linear x, y and z, and rotations about those axes) at Sandia National Labs in the US. Apparently it was David Smallwood (second from left) who created the maths behind the ...
