High Torque Motor Turns At Speeds Up To 3,500 RPM
Today’s turning centers can be economical without sacrificing power or precision. Demonstrating this is the Lynx 300, a new turning center from Doosan that’s just now entering the United States. The Lynx’s 20 Hp, high torque motor provides the power for heavy cuts and the speed to produce near-mirror finishes. Its 10″ diameter 3-jaw power […]
Torque Limiters that Keep Overload in Check for Heavy Equipment
A different approach is needed when designing mechanical torque limiters for high horsepower drives. The basic principles of mechanical torque limiter design are similar to those that have been known since some of the first machines were built, yet it remains a dynamic field. Function, space restrictions, safety considerations and continuously changing machinery design drive […]
Hybrid Coupling Combines Fluid, Electronics, Tubing and Cable
The Hybrid Connector integrates fluidics and electronics into a single connection point. Combining dual flow paths into an integral hose assembly eliminates the need for multiple connections and simplifies the user interface between modular tools, umbilicals or hand pieces and a device. Integrating high-cycle electrical contacts directly into the connector eliminates the need for a […]
