Principle of Strain gauge load cell When steel cylinder is subjected to a force, it tends to change in dimension.

Principle of Pneumatic Load Cell If a force is applied to one side of a diaphragm and an air pressure

Principle of Hydraulic Load cell When a force is applied on a liquid medium contained in a confined space, the pressure

The D.C Tachogenerators is a type of electrical type’s tachogenerators which can also be used for speed measurement. The D.C

Mechanical torsion meter is used to measure torque developed by a machine. Principle of mechanical torsion meter When a shaft

Basic Principle Due to torque, an angular twist (angular displacement) occurs on the shaft between its ends. This angle of

Angular velocity is measured using devices called tachometers. Tachometers are instruments that measure angular speed by registering anyone of the
