Safety Coupling Catalog
Zero-Max has published a 12-page Zero-Max catalog of Torq Tender overload safety couplings. These overload safety couplings disengage motor drives for overload protection. They protect motor and drive systems from jam ups and excessive loading. System designers will find this new catalog helpful when examining overload protection options for a particular system design. Available in […]
Handbook for Mechanical Torque Limiters
As a part of a series of technical handbooks developed for the European manufacturing industry, R+W has released a new handbook for the design and application of safety and overload couplings. Covering the very basics of what torque limiters are, the varieties available, and why they are used, all the way though complex theories and […]
New: R+W Series SK2 Safety Coupling
Completely corrosion proof for outdoor and wash-down applications, the R+W SK2 can be a failsafe solution to overload problems. Torque overload protection is often overlooked in machine design until something jams resulting in expensive damage and down time. The R+W Series SK2 safety coupling was developed specifically for this purpose. It uses a patented ball […]
