Zip Chain Actuators® Drive Greater Production Efficiency
Leave a CommentCommon linear actuators – such as electric screw-type, hydraulic and pneumatic – are effective for facilitating pushing and pulling applications but can create unexpected challenges for plant operators. Hydraulic cylinders, for example, are often used in stacking applications. To create enough space for the cylinder to move, however, you might have to dig a […]
BRUS Backstop’s Superior Performance & Advanced Protection
Leave a CommentFor high-speed conveyor applications, a robust backstop solution is necessary to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations. External backstops are often used in conveyor or bucket elevator applications where heavy materials are being transported upwards or for long distances at high speeds. The backstop is installed onto the gearbox to ensure the drive shaft never […]
Torque Limiters Ensure Uninterrupted Conveyor Operations
Leave a CommentWhen debris gets into your conveyor, it can cause torque overloads that seriously damage the belt and other critical components, leading to unscheduled downtime. While you might not be able to fully prevent a mechanical jam or blockage from occurring, you can reduce the risk to other machine components by using a torque limiting […]
Torque Limiter Sprockets Offer Maximum Protection from Overload
Leave a CommentWhen your equipment and machinery approach torque overload, you’ll be thankful you have a Torque Limiter to protect critical drive components. Torque Limiters are often used in conjunction with sprockets, which guide the rotational movement of equipment and machinery, and serve as an automatic safeguard against torque overload. They are usually sold separately, but U.S. […]
