The LXT 954 - Series Reaction Socket Extension Torque Sensors are designed to insert between a square drive torque producing device and the work fixture to which it is attached.  This allows direct static and limited rotation torque measurements while the tool or device is placed under its typical load.  This is a valuable torque measuring solution for testing drive socket systems, calibrating hand and click wrenches  and checking applied torque values.  Available in ten different torque capacities ranging from 25 in-lb to 7,000 ft-lb, all use a full, four-arm Wheatstone bridge circuit and have elastomer coating to protect the measurement element from mechanical damage.  A six-foot 4-conductor shielded cable (terminated in a pigtail) allows the sensors to interface with a variety of test instrument by means of using different connector plugs (not supplied).

The DFI INFINITY B goes beyond our popular DFI INFINITY with accuracy and performance.  The DFI INFINITY B achieves an accuracy up to 0.005% of reading, and up to 166 readings per second.  This versatile meter handles a broad spectrum of DC voltage and current ranges, nine thermocouple types, multiple RTD's, and signals from strain gauge transducers such as load cells and pressure tranducers, as well as potentiometric by the user for the custom applications.

Built-in excitation to power virtually any sensor or transmitter, and four isolated open collected outputs for control or alarms are standard.  The big, bright, 6-digit patented LED display can be programmed to change color between Red, Amber, and Green at any set point.  Output options include isolated programmable analog voltage or current and four push-button menu between RS-232, RS-485, and either a straight-forward ASCII protocol or MODBUS.  With an Ethernet/Internet option, the DFI INFINITY B connects directly to an Ethernet network and transmits data in standard TCP/IP protocol.

 T he earliest Valentine's Day card was sent in 1415 by Charles, the Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. The first American publisher of Valentines was printer and artist Esther Howland. Her elaborate lace cards of the 1870's cost from $5 to $10, with some as much as $35. With the exception of Christmas, Americans exchange more cards on Valentine's Day than at any other time of the year.
