-- Provides Economical Protection for Machine and Drive Systems --
DAYTON, Ohio (September 15, 2004) - Joyce/Dayton Corp., a premier manufacturer of linear positioning equipment, speed reduction and heavy-duty mechanical and hydraulic lifting equipment, announced today the availability of adjustable Torque Limiters that can be integrated within most Joyce® Steelbelt Speed Reducers.
"The addition of an integrated Torque Limiter to our reducers gives our customers a very economical way to protect their equipment", said Steve Pencil, Operations Manager for Joyce® Steelbelt. "The other options are to add an electronic limiter or an external limiter, both of which are much more costly than our alternative."
The Steelbelt Torque Limiters are mechanical, using a slip clutch assembly in an oil bath. The clutch slips automatically to minimize downtime and reduce costly damage to equipment and machines, and allows the reducer to automatically return to normal operation after the obstruction is removed. Torque limit is set at the factory, but there are adjustments that allow customers to set limits in the field. "Limiters are adjustable from zero inch pounds up to about 25% above the full torque rating", Mr. Pencil added. "These are very robust units. In fact, each Torque Limiter is backed by an unmatched Two Year Warranty."
Joyce Steelbelt Torque Limiters are ideal for application with any equipment that requires overload protection, including conveyors, gate operators, overhead doors, bottling machines, packaging machines, coolers and steel processing equipment.
