‘Torque Limiters’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Quicksilver releases application note from
QuickSilver Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Quicksilver's ability to handle large inertial loads (large inertial mismatch) allows the company to direct drive large product reels. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Mountz offers torque and force analyser from
Mountz: "The Wizard Plus is a PDA torque and force analyser from Mountz that can be used for torque calibration, joint testing, auditing, force and load measurement, or verification of load cells. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Festo
- take a look at Festo releases fieldbus-controlled valve regulator
which says: "Festo has launched a fieldbus-controlled proportional valve regulator that mounts directly on to a valve manifold. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division, Torque motors eliminate extruder vibration,
as well as Warner Electric brakes to the stage from Warner Electric (Altra Industrial Motion),
and Bevel helical gearboxes take to the bridge from Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions.
