Get to know Ringfeder’s spring-set AFJ jaw brake for cramped environments
Optimizing brake performance when constrained by space requirements can be a challenge. That’s why we designed the AFJ Jaw Air/Hydraulic/Pneumatic Brake to provide ideal positioning, holding, and indexing performance in cramped environments. Compact, High Torque Output The AFJ is a spring-set jaw brake that provides torques from 5 to 5,000 pound-feet, efficiently utilizes space, and […]
Reliable locking bolt / locking systems for wind turbines
The rotor lock (locking bolt) is a locking system (rotor lock) that is used to lock the rotors of wind turbines mechanically in case of inspections. Rotor locks in wind turbines are important safety components. The hydraulically or electromechanically moved bolt with position monitoring serves as a locking mechanism for locking rotors. The locking function […]
