Simpler mounting for sensors
The key to getting the best out of automotive sensors is all in the mounting, says Chris Needes, Automotive Product Manager at Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Rencol.
It has the potential to replace expensive and bulky conventional slip clutches in a wide range of applications.
The Power Ring effectively doubles the accuracy of torque control, at the same time minimising degradation so that ring performance is maintained for still longer periods.
Key to the design of the Power Ring is a modified wave form, resulting in enhanced deformation characteristics.
The new rings can also be factory coated with a specially developed solid lubricant which eliminates the need for separate application of high pressure greases, and the associated costs.
In lower volume applications, where automation may be inappropriate, this also removes the variables associated with manual application of grease.

Once in situ, the characteristics of these rings result in greatly reduced wear of the mating components under load. Request a free brochure from Rencol Tolerance Rings ...
