• Electromagnetic clutches and brakes are electrically activated but transmit torque mechanically. • Engagement time depends on magnetic field strength, air gap, and inertia. • Burnishing increases ...

• 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 ...

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 ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
