More about what it means for servo brakes to have functional-safety certification

December 18, 2020 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

In the article What are functional safety standards for servo drives? we review how functional safety is quantified. Now consider one example of a spring-set pneumatically released friction servomotor brake now having a third-party safety rating (from Intertek Group) certifying compliance with international safety standard ISO 13849-1. Intertek is an international London-headquartered inspection, assurance, product […]

Power-off engaged brakes for conveyor applications

December 18, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

brakes

Miki Pulley’s latest model BXW power-off engaged brakes are designed to halt a motorized conveyor roller when system power is disengaged. These new BXW brakes are spring-actuated electromagnetic brakes. They provide reliable dynamic braking when conveyor power is disengaged and excellent performance for longer-term holding requirements for staging, loading and unloading conveyor operations. BXW brakes […]

How do shear pin torque limiters work and when are they used?

December 1, 2020 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

shear pin torque limiter

Shear pin torque limiters are a simple, cost-effective design for protecting equipment from torque overloads. In their most basic form, they incorporate a pin (or, for very high torque ratings, multiple pins) inserted between two rotating elements, such as discs or flanges. When torque is being transmitted from the driving to the driven load, the […]

How do ball detent torque limiters work and when are they used?

November 20, 2020 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Ball Detent Torque Limiter

Rotating equipment such as motors, gearboxes, and fans can experience a torque overload if the system encounters an unexpected malfunction such as a jam or crash of the driven load. One way to protect these expensive components — and to avoid physical injury to personnel — is to install a torque limiter in the drive […]

New notched belt boasts zero maintenance

November 17, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

belt

Regal Beloit Corporation’s new Browning TorqTitan notched belt uses innovative elastomers, optimized cord arrangements and notch profiles to make it the most power-dense and energy-efficient V-belt that Regal has ever produced. The high-horsepower belt outperforms similarly sized belts in a wide range of applications, while being 30% stronger. No re-tensioning is needed, and it requires […]
