Smoother clutches for bottle-capping machinery
Rimtec's HSV permanent-magnet hysteresis clutches provide exceptionally smooth torque transmission with servo-quality overload protection for high-production bottle-capping applications
Capping machines now can have an overload clutch with virtually infinite life cycle custom fitted to pre-existing machine or clutch designs.
Rimtec's novel flexible design allows for unlimited adjustment of the torque while also accommodating the proper heat dissipation.
The hysteresis design eliminates "cogging" usually associated with other permanent magnet devices.
Special designs are constructed from 100% stainless steel for wash down environments or for capping corrosive material.
Other applications include tension control take-ups for labeling machines or tape dispensing machines.
Rimtec's engineering knowledge allows for custom solutions to be designed and manufactured without the custom solution lead-time and price.
