The Creation of a Torque-Link Collar

LORD Sensing-MicroStrain recently unveiled the new Torque-Link wireless torque monitoring node-- a simple-to-install collar than provides highly accurate measures of torsional strain.

Since the collar is custom-designed to the user's specific requirements, we build each one here in our Vermont offices with a 3D printer.

Recently, we built a 4.25" diameter collar for a customer over the course of 25 hours, and we filmed a time-lapse video to show how it all came together.


Technical Note:
SG-Link® -RGD-LXRS® Installation Guide

The SG-Link is a versatile, ruggedized, fourchannel analog input node with an integrated accelerometer. The node housing is designed to be installed directly over a strain gauge rosette for easy integration and maximum circuit protection. 

Strain gauges with an impedance greater than or equal to 350 ohms can be used with the SG-Link® - RGD®. The node comes with a replaceable battery and a flexible strain gauge bonding cable. The bonding cable connects to the node terminals and is installed underneath the node with the strain gauge to protect them from damage. The node can then be sealed to protect the entire assembly from moisture in harsh environments.
  


Application Note:
Inertial Sensing for Underwater ROVs and UUVs
Precise Control and Stabilization with Best-in-Class Miniature Sensors

Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) operate in extremely demanding environments that require precise and reliable feedback. Inertial navigation solutions must be very accurate as well as small, lightweight, low power, and easy to integrate.
LORD Sensing-MicroStrain inertial sensors provide high performance in a very small package. MEMS technologies, including very low-noise gyroscopes, combined with sophisticated Kalman filtering offer accurate data quantities to provide precise control, stabilization, and pointing at the best value.
