One of the best ways to assess the performance of plant and machinery, is to monitor torque in a drive shaft. However because drive shafts rotate, hard wiring a sensor into place usually requires the use of a delicate slip ring. An alternative solution is to use a non-contact radio frequency detector to monitor 'Surface Acoustic Waves' (SAWs), as Mark Ingham of Sensor Technology Ltd explains.

With a new package developed and supplied by CeramTec,manufacturers of medical devices can now incorporate high gain transducers into new products faster and more cost-effectively.Combining a horned transducer and a remote drive electronics board, the kit streamlines the development process for new devices, facilitating shorter lead times for ultrasonic applications.
