Exploring the Different Types of Aircraft Vibrations

There are two main types of aircraft vibrations: normal and abnormal. Normal vibrations regularly occur when an airplane is in flight and during takeoff and landing. These oscillating or reciprocating motions do not indicate potential defects with the aircraft or its engines and can be explained by routine operations such as flying through turbulence [...]

Measuring Brake Rotor Thickness Variation with Capacitive Sensing

Brake rotor thickness variation, or disc thickness variation (DTV), causes uneven wear to brake rotors, disc-shaped automotive parts that are squeezed between brake pads to slow or stop a vehicle’s wheels. When a brake rotor has areas of different thickness, the amount of clamping force that’s applied across the rotor’s surface varies. These differences in [...]

Capacitor Characteristics

Capacitor Characteristics Capacitors are often defined by their many characteristics. These characteristics ultimately determine a capacitors specific application, temperature, capacitance range, and voltage rating. The sheer number of capacitor characteristics are bewildering. Furthermore, it can be very difficult to interpret and understand the information printed onto the body of a capacitor. Capacitors come in [...]

Types of Capacitors

Types of Capacitors There are numerous types of capacitors with various functions and applications. Capacitors range from small to large, and each has characteristics that make them unique. For example, some capacitors are small and delicate, such as the ones found in radio circuits. On the other hand, capacitors can be quite large [...]

Warpage and Flatness

When attempting to measure warpage and flatness, you should consider the measurement system being used and the environment where it’s being installed. Always select the right type of equipment during this process. Selecting the wrong kind of equipment can lead to increased man-hours during the production process and insufficient precision. How to Measure Warpage [...]
