Re: [femm] Contactless magnetic torsion transducer.

Thank you for the information.

In our case, we can't place a magnetoelastic ring around the axe because the
machine to study is working right now. With our old model we used the
magnetic elastic carecteristics of the steel itself, so we can put our
device without any preparation on an axe of a turning alternator of the
iregular axe of a diesel.


Thanks anyway because in many cases we can use the new Magna-Lastic Devices.

Wouter
