Base isolation methods for earthquake-resistant construction
By Ringfeder Editor Earthquake-resistant construction is vital to keeping people safe and preventing economic losses in earthquake-prone regions. To ensure the safety of the public and infrastructure, it’s important to comply with all applicable earthquake codes and standards, which are consistently updated with data collected from recent earthquakes and related research. Numerous seismic standards have […]
Locking assembly replacement ensures ball mill performance
By Ringfeder Editor Maintenance engineers at a cement production facility were recently experiencing repeated equipment failures. Upon investigation, they found the shaft-pinion connection of the ball mill unit was malfunctioning. Specifically, the locking assembly that connected the shaft to the pinion was out of tolerance with an abnormally high run-out of 300 to 400 micrometers […]
Get to know Ringfeder’s spring-set AFJ jaw brake for cramped environments
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 utilizes space, and […]
Ringfeder:Friction-Spring Industrial Buffer Designs
Mining operations require reliable components to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and the environment. To prepare ore for shipping, the raw material is transported to cargo holds aboard ships or trains via loaders traveling along a rail track. Industrial buffers are often installed at the end of the track to halt and slow loads […]

AFS Brake delivers fast, reliable, positive braking action
By Ringfeder editor Medium-duty applications — like starting and stopping medical diagnostic equipment and robotics — require reliable, precision-engineered brakes. Our AFS Multiple Disc Air/Hydraulic Spring Set Brake meets these requirements, delivering high-performance, fast and reliable action. Here’s how it works: The AFS applies braking torque when air or hydraulic pressure is removed from the […]
Emergency buffers for ship loaders: Thoughtful design for increased safety and efficiency
How RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION implements a safe and maintenance-free end stop for a ship loader in Northern Brazil. In a large mine in Northern Brazil, the journey of iron ore begins: the processed raw material is tipped from railway wagons onto a conveyor belt, which then transports it to a ship loader that moves along […]
