    Staking Teflon Wire

    Hello, I am looking for a material that would stake teflon coated wire to steel. I am hoping for some of the following characteristics: 1. relatively thick, quick cure 2. chemical resistant to degreasing solutions commonly used to remove flux when soldering 3. non-conductive, good insulation...

    Ideas for tension / compression test stand

    Hello, I currently work for a company that manufactures weigh scale devices. A majority of the devices are either patient weight scales ( the kind you stand on at the doctors ) or a tension load cell (displays patient weight when on a lifter). Typically the devices can weigh up to 1000lbs full...

    How can I measure accuracy of strain gage placement

    Hello, I need some advice on how to inspect strain gage placement inside a load cell. Typically strain gages have alignment marks, the gage itself is small at (0.25" x 0.14" ). The gage is bonded in the center of a hole (0.55" dia) drilled through inside the load cell (which is basically a...

    Tool Steel - S7 - Surface defects?

    Hello, Is there a good web site or book which shows pictures of defects that can occur with steels. For example at work I have seen that after tool steel (S7) has been heat-treated the surface apears to have a rippling, something like I can only describe as a fingerprint or maze as when viewed...

    S7 heat treat - Can it cause problems in wheatstone bridge app?

    I am working with load cells made from S7 Tool Steel (T41907) that have already been machined and are heat treated in the following manner: 1) individual 1"x1"x3" are placed in a steel foil bag, and evacuated. 2) the pieces are placed in an oven that has been sitting at 1200-1300F...

    Leak Rate Testing - gHe Bomb

    Typically the design of pressure transducers is such that there is a bonded foil strain gage in a whetstone configuration which is bonded to the non-wetted side of an diaphragm… there also is an amplification/compensation electronics board assembly that is contained within a metal housing...

    Justify electromechanical device good after sitting 5 yrs on shelf

    What methods can be used in order to justify the use of an electromechanical device that has been sitting on a shelf for 5 yrs. -> obviously the device could be hooked up and performance verified. -> if MTBF is known, shelf time could be subtracted out any other ideas? or techniques? Thanks...

    Noise Feedback, how to measure?

    Is there a standard procedure for measuring noise feedback of a sensor? First off, I am assuming that noise feedback would be the noise from the sensor that gets injected back into the power supply. If I had to guess you would want to place something inbetween the power supply and the sensor...
