Oil Shear Load Brakes Absorb Extreme Torque
Force Control load brakes feature oil shear technology that allows them to absorb extreme torque at speeds as low as 0 rpm, so that the dynamometer can accurately capture data at these very low speeds. Oil Shear Technology can provide instant load spikes and static lock-up of up to 3-times the continuous load rating, making […]

New from Ruland: inch-to-metric rigid couplings
Ruland Manufacturing now offers rigid couplings with inch-to-metric bores as a standard product, giving users a wider range of off-the-shelf couplings. This expansion is the latest addition to the company’s inch-to-metric, standard coupling product line that includes seven types of motion-control couplings and universal joints. Instead of re-machining or ordering custom-made couplings, using off-the-shelf, inch-to-metric […]
Spring-set AFJ jaw brake for cramped environments
By Ringfeder Editor Optimizing brake performance when constrained by space requirements can be a challenge. That’s why we designed the AFJ Jaw Air/Hydraulic/Pneumatic Brake to provide ideal positioning, holding, and indexing performance in cramped environments. Compact, High Torque Output The AFJ is a spring-set jaw brake that provides torques from 5 to 5,000 pound-feet, efficiently […]
