Low backlash clutches save space
Slip-ease and miniature friction slip clutches are designed for applications where space is at a premium and low backlash is required.
Ondrives has a range of slip-ease and miniature friction slip clutches for applications where space is at a premium and low backlash is required The Slip-Ease clutch uses an axial loaded multi-plate design and has a backlash of 2 degrees as standard

Linear guides get rack-and-pinion option
HPC Drives has extended its range of Drylin linear guides to include a rack-and-pinion option.
It has an adjustable torque between 0.01 and 60Nm for shaft to shaft couplings.
The miniature friction slip clutches have an adjustable torque range between 0.01 and 8.4Nm, and they control torque for intermittent, continuous or overload slip.
It will drive in both directions, slip when torque setting is reached, and resume driving as the load is reduced.
Slippers are excellent as continuous drag brakes, protection against accidental or intentional overloads, for "soft starts", and slipping at the end of the stroke.
The slipper is a small precision device containing a number of brass plates interfaced with an improved long life friction material.
Soft springs maintain pressure on the friction members, assuring constant torque.
An adjacent member of the customer's mechanism can often be used as the slipper housing.
sizes offered vary from 25.40mm outside diameter up to 69.85mm.
