Hundreds of nuts and bolts hold your car together, and many of those bolts have precise torque settings. Wrenching these sensitive parts beyond their specifications, could spell doom, as could not ...

The optimal size for a clutch or brake is determined by three things: Required torque, thermal horsepower per engagement, and average required thermal horsepower. Here, we'll discuss the first, ...

• Clutches typically transfer torque via in-line or parallel shafts. • Most single revolution clutches can stop only about 10% of their load capacity. • The torque capacity of a wrap-spring clutch or ...

I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

Oversizing often happens when engineers try to match the inertia between the load and the motor rotor, so that they can tune the drive’s velocity, torque or position loop relatively tightly to meet ...

The widely known principle of rotational viscometers is utilized for calculating the viscosity in most laboratory viscometers, by sensing the torque required for rotating a spindle at a constant speed ...
