Focus on Clutches and Brakes
The Power Transmission Engineering archive is a great place to look for inspiration on any topic related to mechanical power transmission and motion control, whether you’re looking for in-depth technical articles, a roundup of the latest technology or an application example demonstrating a case study of a type of product in use. Here’s a sampling of articles from our archive focused on clutches and brakes:
MECHANICAL CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR EASY TORQUE OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The R+W TORQSET series STN uses spring loaded drive ball modules which disengage within milliseconds of reaching a predetermined overload torque value, preventing damaging torques from being transmitted down the drive line. This protects gearboxes, belts, chains, and drive shafts from failure, and instead offers a fast and simple re-engagement without the need for any special tools...
Andantex Introduces New TRS Series Static Torque Sensors
Used either in torque display systems or in torque closed-loop control systems, Merobel TRS series offer a plug-and-play solution for test rigs.
When embedded in a closed-loop system it dramatically increases the dynamic properties of a torque simulation device, and to build more accurate & stable regulation system. Contact info@andantex.com.
