A recent torque limiter report stated the importance of higher-quality torque limiters. “Where operator safety is the primary concern, higher standards are vital, and experienced suppliers’ sound advice is recommended.”

Yes, there is a cost to putting the best limiter (also called an overload clutch) into your systems. But, the benefits outweigh the initial cost.

Critical Nature of a Torque Limiter

Any time torque transmits from one machine component to another, there’s a chance a jam could happen. A jam can prevent the rotation of a drive component.

When working with high-torque, heavy-duty equipment, everyone’s goal should be same. Balance efficient production with protection of both human and machine. Even momentary overload can cause injury to people and damage equipment beyond repair.

A torque limiter is a mechanical protection. It’s a device that engages in the event of an overload, and the load separates from the drive. The limiters that have rotating balls or rollers you can augment with a limit switch. The switch can override the motor drive system and activate an emergency stop.

Keeps Overload in Check for Heavy Equipment

A precise torque limiter keeps overload in check when it comes to high horsepower drives.

High horsepower drives mean larger gearboxes and motors. As the size increases, the power density can become disproportionate between driveling components.

The overload clutch needs to remain compact but also be robust enough to handle the larger load.

This component is small but essential. It is often out-sized as drive requirements extend into the thousands of horsepower.

The majority of torque overload release devices have low release values. These values are often too low for heavy equipment.

Heavy equipment requires torque levels beyond 10 KN. Such machines include gas turbines and industrial crushers. It also includes oversized recycling equipment and windmill test stands.

Extends the Life of Your Drive System

When a drive system overloads, a quality limiter immediately disengages the drive system. This protects the machinery. The system resets, and operation resumes.

This protection extends the life of the entire drive system. It also reduces downtime caused by equipment damage and the resulting repair time.

Greater Accuracy of Torque Limitation

A quality overload clutch means more precise torque limitation and increased up time. Inaccurate torque limitation can mean unplanned downtime.

A target accuracy range for limiters is +/-5 percent. Lower quality limiters range from about +/-15-20 percent accuracy.

Longer Life Even at High Speeds

You may pay a higher price for a better limiter. But, the investment will pay for itself later. For example, torque limiters like the Autogard Series 400 have a reverse-to-reset design. There are two sets of balls on concentric pitch circles.

The Autogard and similar models provide a longer life than lesser quality limiters. This makes it practical for high-speed applications while keeping the automatic resetting feature.

It’s an old cliche, but it holds true: Time is money.

For every workday your equipment is down, your company loses valuable production time.

Industrial motors use approximately 25% of the electrical energy around the world. Many of these motors run better when using a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

A VFD drive is a motor controller that varies the frequency and voltage of an electric motor. Due to the wide use of VFDs, VFD repair is a specialized skill.

VFD drives vary in components and configuration. Thus, repair technicians must be able to apply expertise and safety precautions specific to the type of VFD they are working with.

Here are some tips for finding the best VFD drive repair service.

VFD Drive Preventive Maintenance

We need to make one brief note about prevention before we go any further.

You can prevent most repairs with routine maintenance on your VFD. Technicians should perform preventive maintenance on a periodic schedule. For some units, once a year is effective.

The cost of the repair itself is expensive. Coupling that with the downtime you incur can be a hit to your efficiency percentages.

Whenever possible, some manufacturers keep backup VFDs on hand to keep production going during the repair period.

Read the Reviews

Look up several repair providers. Spend some time on their website. Read testimonials from past customers.

But don’t stop there. Search the web for other customer reviews. Word of mouth still holds a lot of weight, so ask your business associates who they would recommend.

Look for Experience

An established repair company will be sure to state their strengths on their website and marketing materials.

You want a company with years of experience. And you want experienced technicians to come out and do the job right the first time.

VFD service technicians should be able to troubleshoot a wide range of issues, from standard repair to advanced robotics. Techs should be able to find the cause of failure and present solutions right away.

Ask Questions

Once you’re ready to contact a service provider, prepare some questions. While cost is a practical concern, it should not be your only one.

What is their availability? Are they interested in hearing the results of the diagnostics your in-house technicians ran? Are they familiar with your particular VFD unit?

The VFD repair company should be able to service both AC and DC VDFs. Those repairs should include a full warranty on new installations as well as repaired units.

The company should service all major brands including Magnetek, Avtron, Vacon, Yaskawa, Siemens, and Allen-Bradley. Their service experience should also include some older and obsolete models.

Find Your Repair Service Today

Inevitably, any VFD is going to need repair, even those with impeccable maintenance logs attached to them.

When that happens, take these extra steps to help you find the right repair company for the job.

If you’re looking for full-service VFD repair, please contact us. We’ll get your unit back in service quickly and at optimal efficiency.

Do consumers give much thought to how products reach their destination? Probably not! There is a lot that goes into transport and most times, a port and marine terminal plays an intricate role.

Most major cities have ports, and these terminals play into the fiber of our economy. They provide a valuable service that is interconnected worldwide.

Ports involve more than workers loading and unloading cargo all day. State-of-the-art technology, machinery, and logistics are required for them to operate efficiently.

Continue reading as we shine a spotlight on the latest in the port and marine industry.

Global Automated Container Terminal

As with any industry, it is important to know where the merchandise is at all times. Ports also need the capability to move cargo containers without too much disruption.

The global automated container terminal market continues to grow as other tools in the marine terminal business change. Ships are larger with the capacity to accommodate bulkier container units.

Automated terminals are handled remotely and improve container logistics by the use of the following:

Ship-to-Shore Cranes

These cranes have grown in size over time. STS cranes are capable of moving larger shipping containers faster.

They play a pivotal part in the success of the automation process because they load and unload cargo.

Automatic Stacking Cranes

Like the STS cranes, automatic stacking cranes contribute to the movement of cargo containers. These stacking cranes have been modified over the years so they can handle bigger shipments of TEU containers.

Automatic stacking cranes must also be equipped to handle increased capacity and traffic at the marine terminal. This is due to the bigger cargo ships creating substantial changes in shipments.

Remote Controlled Center of Operations

With technological advances in automation, someone has to be able to control the equipment. Expect to see fewer workers on the ground as remote controlled operations go into effect.

Think of it as air traffic control of the marine terminal. Someone will be in a room controlling the cranes and gates and other movements at the port.

Drone Technology

We’ve heard Amazon is hoping to introduce drone delivery soon to get packages to consumers quicker. Well, port and marine terminals may be heading in the same direction.

New technology could soon introduce computer navigated drones. These drones would have the capability to move containers from one side of the port to the other. Perhaps they could one day deliver the shipment to its final destination.

This technology is not available yet but advances are being made.

Automation – the Future of Marine Terminal Technology

As you can see, automation is the future of the port business. However, with the greatest technology in place, equipment will continue to need servicing.

Having the right supply company to provide parts and services for your fleet is crucial.

Hydraulic motors require hydraulic power units, and the utilizing the right one needs to be carefully considered.

Whether you’re in need of a unit for industrial, mobile or aerospace applications, it’s crucial to understand which hydraulic power unit is right for a specific machine.

Here are some tips to guide you through making this selection…

A Good Investment

As the manufacturer, you’re here to provide your clients with fully-functional, reliable machinery, that proves to be a good investment.

To do this, you need to think about the machine’s functionality, in order to make a hydraulic power unit choice.

If you’re aware of the type, you’re off to a good start.

Choosing the Type of Hydraulic Power Unit

There are various factors to consider, which you, the manufacturer, should be versed in when it comes to equipping your machinery with a power unit.

Level of Force

Does your machine require a unit that provides a consistent force, for larger-scale tasks?

You may be looking at a machine that lifts heavy items or operates a large structure; or one that requires two stages of force, or even one constant stream of power.

Other items need sporadic power, and so the needs are a little less demanding when it comes to choosing a unit.

Size Matters

The machine’s size is also as important as it’s functionality, as the power unit can be selected based on this.

Micro-units, for example, are ideal for an item of machinery that isn’t very big. You won’t need a big unit when it comes to electric gates, for instance.

Machinery that lifts things, as another example, are a little larger scale and could be ideally suited to mini, rather than micro, units. This type of machine needs a little more power, and are more cumbersome, but still only require a smaller sized hydraulic power unit.

Flow Rate

As a manufacturer, you will know about the pump’s flow rate or capacity, and so use this to decipher which will be the right power unit for the machinery in question.

Armed with this specific piece of information, you will be able to pinpoint the best power unit based on the specifications of the units on offer. The size of a unit and its power drive levels will play an important role in matching it to the machine in question.

It’s important not to overdo it, too; too much power and an excess of pressure in a unit will likely jam the machinery’s internal components and will affect the hydraulic fluid and therefore the functionality of the machinery.

Outlet and Inlet Hoses

Have you looked at the outlet and inlet sizes for the hose on your machine? These will be designed in order to handle a certain level of pump power, and so the unit will need to correspond with these aspects of the machine’s design also.

Expert Advice

For additional help in making this choice, Kor-Pak can help you select the right item for your needs and specializes in services after purchase, not just the supply of crucial industry products.

Kor-Pak prides itself as both an OEM and distributor for products ranging from Heavy Duty Industrial Braking Systems, Wear Materials and Rubber Parts for Locomotives and Passenger Cars, Engine Seals, Kevlar Bearings, and Custom Machined and Fabricated parts.

North America is rich with resources. Today, we mine everything from carbonate rock, like marble, to minerals, like Uranium. These substances can be used to make items, from lazy susans to nuclear power reactors. That’s why mining is one of the oldest and most important professions in the contemporary United States, stemming back to the original colonies.

But with the power and reach of technology growing, today’s mining industry is very different from that of as little as 10 or 20 years ago, and Americans can sense it.

There hasn’t been a time in recent history that miners have come into the spotlight as much as they did in the political climate of election 2016. With a changing outlook for their industry, miners are looking for answers as to what’s next.

And if you’re wondering the same thing. Keep reading for an outlook.

What’s Next For the Mining Industry in 2018 and Beyond?

Contrary to what some may believe from listening to waves of recent news coverage on the subject, the mining industry is actually already making a comeback. Data from UK’s FTSE 100 shows the value index for the top 7 mining companies has doubled in recent years. Meanwhile, United States stock trends show gold up 13.5% in mid-October.

And while miners are having a good year there are still many issues that affect the outlook.

Issues That Impact the Industry

Global Issues

Global Issues like the recent Brexit referendum have a profound effect on the industry. Luckily, the industry is based on American dollars and therefore strengthened by the decentralization of European money.

Environmental Impact

Environmental risks prove to be a stumbling block for miners. The legislation is frequently changing providing new protections for the environment and sometimes taking them away.

A risk associated with deregulated mining includes toxins being released into the air and water supply. In recent news, the Dakota Access pipeline has sparked controversy around this subject, with many in the Sioux Tribe of Standing Rock feeling displaced as the pipeline pumps through their water supply.

Health Risks

Health risks associated with being in the mining industry vary depending on what substance is being mined. But across the board, mining can be dangerous with risks that include inhalation of sediment, falling rocks, and exposure to toxins.

Workforce Attrition

North American miners are starting to age. Research shows over half the miners in Canada are over 50 years old. As young people coming out of college are often looking for the next best sci-tech or environmental engineering job, fewer are interested in the labor-intensive lifestyle of a miner. If the sector is going to continue to grow and attract new talent, there will need to be a talent acquisition strategy.

Technology

Technology is a driving force changing the mining sector. Innovative technology has been widely accepted to reduce fatalities and injury and make processes more efficient. With no shortage of mining companies collecting research and data, the next big advancement could be just around the corner in 2018 and beyond.

The Mining Sector is Healing

Trends suggest the mining sector isn’t going down without a fight. And in fact, it’s getting better.

Never has the industry been safer or more innovative than it is today. These trends in workforce safety and efficiency will continue as more research is used to the industry’s advantage.

If the sector can withstand new environmental legislation, overcome workforce attrition and mitigate overall health risks, the mining sector will likely grow in the coming years. With over two centuries of history to infer from, our outlook suggests the mining industry will be just fine.

Are you in need of high-quality hydraulic clamps for your components? You’re in luck.

These devices can help you increase productivity, reduce cycle times, and keep your machines running well for years to come. But in order to maximize your machine efficiency, you need to use the best equipment.

These materials need to be able to balance psi, adjust clamping position, and be durable for tough job demands. Kor-Pak has spent years making relationships with only the finest of manufactures to create product lines that are suitable to all of your needs.

We use different types of hydraulic systems and innovative technology to create unparalleled quality in our designs. Read on to learn why our hydraulic clamps will perfectly suit your components.

All Metal Hydraulic Clamps

Hydraulic clamping provides far better clamping than manual fixtures. The tightening threads between the two connecting sides create an impenetrable seal.

One of the most popular designs is the all-metal fitting. These are designed to help eliminate maintenance and decrease the amount of leakage.

Relying only on metal-to-metal contact, these clamps are much more effective than leaky pipe threads. Our all-metal designs use a form-fitting design that makes the clamps easy to assemble and nearly impossible to penetrate. These reliable fixtures suffer from very little to no leakage.

Flare-Type

Our top of the line manufacturers have spent years perfecting their flare-type fittings. These designs are popular industry-wide for their durability and incredibly strong seal.

Our flare-type fittings use compact tubing that still provides enough strength to handle thousands of pounds of pressure. The flare-type hydraulic clamps use the strongest material factors that are able to withstand extreme working conditions. They have the ability to handle a rise or drop of several hundred degrees.

In addition to strength and durability, the flare-type system is also economical. The compact design and form fitting material will reduce your costs.

Flareless-Fitting

Our flareless-fitting product line is growing in both popularity and size. It’s becoming a wanted hydraulic clamp because it simplifies the tube preparation process.

Flareless-fitting hydraulic clamps are able to withstand more vibration than other metal fixtures. They can also handle thousands of pounds per square inch.

Their design also helps to create a strong seal. This occurs as a result of the fitting nut compressing the cap, which in turn pushes through the tube circumference.

O-Ring

By now, you’ve surely heard of the O-ring. Niels Christensen’s legendary design has been a go-to tool since patented it in 1937.

Our O-ring fittings place an O-ring between threads and wrench flats. The result? A tight-seal around the connecting port.

Our O-ring hydraulics come in both adjustable and non-adjustable design. The rubber and metal seal creates a tighter, more sturdy seal than some of the metal to metal designs.

This increasingly popular design can help reduce maintenance requirements and ensure your machines don’t experience downtime.

Your Hydraulic Clamps

Selecting the right kind of hydraulic clamp can make all the difference.
