Centrifugal Clutches: Devices that transmit power via centrifugal and frictional forces of a rotating body. They are utilized to improve the starting performance of driving machines, such as engines, and to protect shaft systems from overloading. Models include TX30B, TY30A, TV40, SE Type, TZ, and TV type.CentrifugalClutches:Devicesthattransmitpowerviacentrifugalandfrictionalforcesofarotatingbody.Theyareutilizedtoimprovethestartingperformanceofdrivingmachines,suchasengines,andtoprotectshaftsystemsfromoverloading.ModelsincludeTX30B,TY30A,TV40,SEType,TZ,andTVtype.
Torque Releasers: Devices that cut off the transmission of power to applications in the presence of excessive torque. They protect production plants from sudden overloads and minimize damage from operational suspension. TX Type (automatic reset) and TY Type (manual return) models are available.TorqueReleasers:Devicesthatcutoffthetransmissionofpowertoapplicationsinthepresenceofexcessivetorque.Theyprotectproductionplantsfromsuddenoverloadsandminimizedamagefromoperationalsuspension.TXType(automaticreset)andTYType(manualreturn)modelsareavailable.
Centrifugal Brakes: Brakes with a fixed drum and a unit assembly that, when rotated, uses centrifugal force to press brake shoes against the drum's inner surface, causing a braking effect on the rotating shaft. NS Type models are part of this category.CentrifugalBrakes:Brakeswithafixeddrumandaunitassemblythat,whenrotated,usescentrifugalforcetopressbrakeshoesagainstthedrum'sinnersurface,causingabrakingeffectontherotatingshaft.NSTypemodelsarepartofthiscategory.
Load Testers: Utilize low-speed, high-torque dynamometers. These testers incorporate water-cooled discs and pneumatic or hydraulic disc brakes to apply mechanical loads, with torque conversion achieved by detecting the generated reaction force with load cells.LoadTesters:Utilizelow-speed,high-torquedynamometers.Thesetestersincorporatewater-cooleddiscsandpneumaticorhydraulicdiscbrakestoapplymechanicalloads,withtorqueconversionachievedbydetectingthegeneratedreactionforcewithloadcells.
