This summer marks the third annual Sensors + Test Trade Show that FUTEK will participate in Nurnberg, Germany. The three-day international trade show is a convention forum for sensor design and manufacturing companies to rally together and share their product lines.

Known as the “most comprehensive and state-of-the-art” tradeshow in the test and measurement industry, participants not only display their products, but also practice innovative system and solution applications. This makes the Sensors + Test Trade Show a great platform for FUTEK to showcase our advancements over the past year, especially in conjunction with our advanced Rotary Torque Sensors.

With the market becoming more digitalized, we are looking forward to using this platform to help market our advancements with our USB Technology. We hope to spark some interest among our colleagues with our applications showing how to utilize a “plug & play” system for timely and cost effective results.

So, with hundreds of businesses in attendance from dozens of countries, FUTEK looks forward to building stronger relationship with our partners oversea. We look forward to seeing their latest designs and their advancements in the test and measurement industry.

We welcome you to visit our FUTEK booth (12-258) this upcoming June, from the 7th to the 9th.

FUTEK is a strong believer in the fact that through education comes success. And it is with this mentality that FUTEK offers both students and educators as many tools as possible to enrich their learning experiences.

One step FUTEK has taken to support the educational development of future engineers has been to partner with many universities on specific engineering projects. This year, FUTEK has partnered with Ohio State University for their annual Formula SAE race. This project consists of the OSU Formula Buckeyes Team designing, manufacturing, and racing a Formula-One style racecar. They will be judged both on their design features and elements, as well as their performance in the race. Thus, in preparation for this enormous undertaking, the Buckeyes Team needed several load cells to help ensure that all aspects of their racecar were operating at optimal performance. And we were happy to help them out with that.

So as their sensor solution sponsor, we wish Jared Martin and his fellow teammates the best success! Go Buckeyes!

The S-Beam Jr. (LSB200) is a Miniature Load Cell that is able to measure compression and tensile forces in the range of 10 gram to 100 lb (444 Newton). The miniature size and broad capacity range makes this model extremely dynamic in the industries and applications it can be utilized in. This model has become one of FUTEK’s most popular products with design features such as its overload protection, lifetime warranty and thread options for both American and Metric standard. By pairing the S-Beam Jr. with our wide range of accessories and instruments, there is the added benefit of creating a sensor system. FUTEK’s electronic line includes a range of displays, amplifiers, and USB output kits, which are integrated to work seamlessly with the S-Beam Jr. through our accredited calibration laboratory.

FUTEK understands that your applications have fast approaching deadlines, and we wanted to inform you that all of our rotary torque models are in stock and awaiting your application. So if your application calls for a Rotary Sensor, rest with ease knowing that your project timeline can remain the same.

FUTEK’s TDF line can be used for precision tests and measurements. In this application model, the TDF650 Square Drive to Flange Torque Sensor is being used to measure the accuracy of a Torque Wrench. The purpose of this application is to verify whether or not the amount of torque by the wrench is precise to its actual output. Because of its high accuracy, the TDF650 acts as a reference to compare the Torque Wrench to. If the output of the TDF650 does not align with the output of the Torque Wrench, then that Wrench is due for re-calibration.
