Torque limiters and safety clutch couplings are ideally installed as physically close to the point of impact or overload as possible in order to enhance sensitivity. As with flexible couplings, the appropriate size will be found once the correct torque rating has been determined. The appropriate safety clutch will be set to disengage at a point slightly higher than the peak torque required for normal operation. Standard safety couplings will attempt to re-engage automatically at periodic points until the torque is reduced to an acceptable level. Torque limiters are often used in conjunction [...]

Q. How do motors interface with the TwinSpin reducers? A. Standard motor interfaces permits direct keyed servo motor shafts that match standard reducer input bores to be directly plugged into the reducer. We offer a complete range of motor mounting flanges. Additional, we can accommodate non-standard motor shafts with input collets, extension shafts or zero backlash couplings. Q. I need very low inertia and weight, will TwinSpin meet these needs? A. Size for size, TwinSpin delivers a complete range of Cycloidal reducers from the smallest unit at 50 mm through largest 335 mm diameter. [...]
