  • Mechanical torque limiters still make sense
    it might seem that mechanical torque limiters are no longer necessary to protect a machine. In a perfect world, overload protection would be unnecessary. But in the real world jams and crashes can never be completely eliminated. They can damage both product and equipment, resulting in expensive
  • Mechanical Torque Limiters Still Make Sense
    of phase two conditions will be at least 5 to 10msec, plus another 20 ms to 30ms before the system comes to rest in phase three. Typically, this is long after the system has experienced the most damaging torques. Thus, mechanical torque limiters still make sense, but not necessarily for every
  • Why Use Mechanical Torque Limiters in a Servo Drive System?
    Electronic current limiting is not always a 100% effective way to prevent torque overloads in a mechanical system
  • Basic Application of Ball Detent Torque Limiters
    What is a ball detent torque limiter? What are the advantages of ball detent torque limiters? How do you size a mechanical torque limiter?
  • Torque limiters get fillers out of a jam
    . A motor and rotating shaft drives the height-adjuster mechanism at about 100 rpm through an H-TLC torque limiter. Mechanical stops limit travel of the filler head but alone can't halt upward travel of its adjusting column each cycle. Occasionally, upward force overpowers the mechanical stops, jarring
  • Zero-Max Composite Disc Coupling Provides Increased Torque Requirements to M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank New Air Filtration System
    life of the air filter in the air cleaner system became a major objective," reports Lee Smathers, engineering specialist for the Mechanical Systems Group of General Dynamics Land Systems, Sterling Heights, Michigan. "We wanted to enhance filtration efficiency to widen the time window between filter
  • Hydrokinetic
    Hydrokinetic drives are typically rated from 1 to 5,000 hp but higher ratings are common. Largest units are rated at 25,000 to 30,000 hp. Because there is no mechanical lockup between the driver and driven elements, the drive has a constant 2 to 4% slip that, although reducing efficiency, provides
