Product Announcements: Torque Limiters and Slip Clutches

Ondrives.US Corp. announces it's new Oldham Coupling Clutch:

+ Get system protection and misalignment compensation in one device.

+ Use as a torque limiter, tensioner or overrun device

+ Torque to 500 inch-lbs in 7 sizes

+ 2° maximum backlash

+ 2° angular compensation

+ Fixed or adjustable torque (read more)

SensiFlex® ULOW tension control clutches and brakes include the new Mach III ULOW (ultra-low coefficient) friction facings and have 45% lower maximum torque capacities than their identically sized SensiFlex® counterparts with LOCO friction facings. Lower torque capacity is an advantage for narrow web converting applications where tensions are low. Click to view video demo. (read more)

Nexen announces TL Series pneumatically engaged, single-position torque limiters, delivering superior overload protection for industrial machinery. (read more)

New designs include light weight CFK tubing, which makes for reduced inertia and higher critical speeds for a given length. New high torque versions handle up to 150,000 Nm with flexible bellows joints and up to 25,000 Nm with elastomer jaw style coupling ends. (read more)

Nexen's Mechanical Torque Limiter delivers high performance and zero backlash while maintaining precise overload protection and accuracy. (read more)

Mach III was contacted by a facility which uses large manually operated control valves. The quarter-turn valves are driven through right angle worm reducers by hand operated chain wheels. Costly downtime failures were occurring when excess force was applied to the worm reducer via the chain wheel (read more)

R+W servo-rated torque limiters are accurate to +/-5% release torque and positively disengage the motor or gearbox shaft in 1-3 milliseconds. (read more)

Ortlinghaus multiplate safety friction and torque limiting coupling clutches are permanently engaged, this condition being maintained by spring pressure. They are able to transmit torque up to a particular, pre-set level, after which in the case of an overload in the transmission, the friction clutches are designed, to slip for a limited period of time.

These torque limiting coupl... (read more)

MT Overrunning Clutches combine high torque, high speed capabilities, easy field repair and low cost -- all in a compact size. With most overrunning clutches, shaft size is a major consideration. Wedge Ramp technology allows for greater bore sizes than comparable size clutches offered by other clutch manufacturers. (read more)

Bibbygard torque limiting modules are designed to be incorporated between two flanges and preset to release at a specified torque value in order to protect the drive system from expensive damage and lost production. (read more)
