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 […]

Three new larger size BXR-LE brakes from Miki Pulley
Efficient power-saving braking for mobile robots is critical to minimize battery charging downtime. The new larger-size Miki Pulley BXR-LE brakes are ideal for factories and similar applications using mobile robots. These new BXR-LE brakes provide exact sequential motion and timed positioning. They apply holding torque after the motor joint stops and provide dynamic braking in […]
Rigid shaft end adapters eliminate need for shaft replacement
An expanded line of rigid shaft end adapters that includes smaller sizes and a wide variety of designs that solve shaft compatibility issues has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA. Stafford Rigid Shaft End Adapters come in many configurations to solve a wide range of shaft compatibility issues such as shaft diameters, […]
Voith HP coupling
HP Coupling The HP Coupling was specifically designed for realistic test scenarios of combustion engines where a dummy gearbox is bell-house-mounted to the engine. In these scenarios, the HP Coupling protects the test rig against damaging torsional vibrations and shifts the natural frequency below idle speed. A viscous-hydraulic damping system and an isolation function give […]
Torque limiters and couplings: ROBA-DSM
Couplings from mayr power transmission ensure reliable torque transmission and safely limit forces and torques. The shaft couplings connect shafts in the power train and compensate for misalignments. Depending on the design, they are either rigid or flexible. The mayr torque limiting clutches reliably limit torques and forces and thus prevent damage to the power […]

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 […]
Vibration and shock absorbing products from SDP/SI
Vibration and shock-absorbing products from SDP/SI can control vibration and reduce noise levels in everyday machinery. In many machines, the vibration is not part of its regular or intended operation and function, but rather it cannot be avoided. The task of vibration isolation is to control this unwanted vibration so that its adverse effects are […]

“Piggyback” Posidyne clutch/brakes fit in tight quarters
Posidyne clutch brakes can be ordered with special pads cast into the main housings to mount an adjustable motor base, allowing the motor to sit atop the clutch brake in a space-saving “piggyback” design. Ideal for precise positioning applications with tight space constraints where an inline arrangement is not feasible, this arrangement also includes a […]
