QUICK REACTING AND READILY AVAILABLE TORQUE LIMITERS

Proper torque overload protection is often omitted from machine design over concerns about size, inertia, and performance – not to mention long lead times. The SLE addresses all of this with a compact low inertia design that runs backlash free and disengages within milliseconds of an overload. It’s also readily available.

Understanding the Binding Ratio

Understanding the Binding Ratio

Since PBC Linear introduced the 2:1 Ratio principle to the marketplace, it has been quickly adapted by most self-lubricating, linear plain bearing manufacturers as one of the guiding principles regarding their use. Within our white paper, we explain the importance of the 2:1 ratio as well as its practical complications, limitations and troubleshooting.
