Mechanical overload-protection devices, such as the EAS -Compact backlash-free, ball-detent torque-limiting clutch, can disconnect drive and driven components almost instantaneously. So-called soft ...

Electronic overload protection has long been employed on industrial electric motors. In some cases, this internal protection may serve as a viable torque limiting mechanism. Many applications, however ...

Reducing the moment of inertia improves the sensitivity of a mechanically based torque sensor, the parallel of reducing the mass of a force sensor, yet the correspondingly small displacements can be ...

In an article I wrote several years ago about impact driver torque, I resolutely decided that the trend of increasingly higher impact driver torque was overkill. Now wiser (and older), I’ve changed my ...
