Understanding gear module is essential for selecting the right gear. This guide explains what gear module is, how it affects tooth size, torque capacity, gear strength, and compatibility, how to estimate it from an existing gear, and why choosing the correct module is a critical engineering decision rather than a simple catalog selection.
Think your PT100 sensor has failed because your PLC is displaying the wrong temperature? The problem may not be the sensor at all. This article explains the differences between RTD, PT100, PT1000, thermocouples, and thermistors, compares 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections, and demonstrates how cable resistance alone can introduce temperature errors of several degrees. Learn how to select the right RTD sensor, probe construction, and wiring method for accurate and reliable temperature measurement.
