ETP-Octopus bushings can be set up for fast and frequent locking/unlocking of linear slides or similar motion devices from a remote switching location.
Designed to withstand corrosive environments, these torque limiters will operate reliably in wide temperature ranges.
They are an excellent substitute for friction type torque limiters which, in certain applications, can generate heat and thereby alter disengagement characteristics.
Zero-Max H-TLC torque limiters are adjustable to handle a range of torque settings should changes be needed in a system.
Simply adjust the unitūs external compression bolts to reset the torque load.
The unit also can be set up quickly and easily to trigger alarms or automatic system shutdown by inserting a special actuating disc accessory.
The patented H-TLC design operates on a spring-loaded convex pin and detent design that reacts to overloads but not to contaminants like soil, dirt and lubrication.
The unit easily withstands the effects of salt, pollutants, mild acids, corrosive moisture of all kinds and even oily environments.
It is effective in temperatures ranging from -40 to +180F.
Models are available to handle torque from 4 to 500in-lb.
There are six sizes and two models in bore sizes from 7 to 25mm.
All are bidirectional. Request a free brochure from Zero-Max ...
