Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This car is spinning up to a whopping 8,200 revolutions per minute. At 8,200 rpm, it screams. It's a Ford Mustang GT350, and though its wheels are ...

Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

Dynamometer tests are used to measure a car's torque and rpm response. But how do they get that information? And how reliable is what they get?

Torque is one of the most important parameters that an automotive test engineer must measure. You measure torque when conducting engine performance tests, and you measure torque transmitted to the ...

In September, Sensor Developments Inc. (SDI) released the 01251 series of infrared dynamometer torque sensors. While inquiring about this new series, I quizzed Rick West, electronics design engineer ...

Torque has a big contribution in the way the car feels and performs. To understand torque, you need to understand horsepower. Once you learn this concept, you can then learn about the relationship ...

Measuring torque in real time has stymied engineers for years. Strain gages provide a partial solution, but they are too delicate for hostile environments. A new approach, Embedded Magnetic Domain ...

In the simplest terms, torque represents how strong an engine is. It's the rotational force that translates into acceleration and, ultimately, speed. Torque determines how quickly a car launches off ...

We'll spare you a full-on physics lesson, but some science concepts can't be avoided in this discussion. Torque travels from the engine into the transmission, then through the driveshafts and into the ...

What do you brag about when you talk about your high-performance car? Most likely, you’ll talk about the engine displacement, number of cylinders, and the overall horsepower. Torque tends to take a ...
