Servo Torque Limiter from R+W America
Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs very rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load. R+W servo-rated […]
Composite Disc Couplings for the Wind Turbine Industry
Plymouth, MN – Zero-Max, Inc.announces introduction of its Composite Disc Couplings for the wind turbine industry. “These couplings withstand extreme misalignment while remaining torsionally stiff and have passed the ‘hell hole’ test at Tehachapi, California Wind Farm,” reports James Motz, member of the Wind Team for Zero-Max. “The couplings were tested under conditions simulating a […]

In this episode Miles looks at the basics of motion controllers and motion profiles.
Machined Spring vs. Wire-Bound
SANTA MARIA, CA—Differences in coil geometry enable machined springs to provide more precise performance, features and functions than can other, more traditional types of springs. There are big differences in performance, reliability, versatility, integrity, and cost effectiveness. The bottom line is that machined springs offer more functions in a single spring than other more traditional […]
