Digi-Key Electronics
MPD’s narrow profile [battery retainer]( enables an extremely lightweight, low profile and cost-efficient power management solution. Elimination of the plastic carrier reduces profile by allowing the battery to rest directly on the PCB surface, where dual beam contacts create two distinct points of contact with one of the battery’s two terminals. They deliver a redundant electrical connection that is unlikely to be broken, even if the [battery]( shifts position due to shock or vibration.

[How to measure torque output from robotic tool drivers]( "Robots are known for repeatability. Programmed to perform mathematically-defined actions, as opposed to the associative actions taken by human operators, they will make nearly identical motions, over and over, for as long as they’re running.
