    Torque Limiting Clutches

    I see. Well in any case, I should be able to get away with a clutch that only slips in one direction? If I set my timing right on my system, the motor will only cause the clutch to slip for a small period of time, (1-2 seconds). My system will only open & close the valve one time every 2...

    Torque Limiting Clutches

    Also. I was wondering if a servo motor can be used for something like this? I am not sure how servos perform under loaded conditions though. I would think I could tighten the valve, set that position as my motors initial condition. Have it rotate my valve open, and then close it etc. Can...

    Torque Limiting Clutches

    Yeah, something similar to that. I would like it to be fully mechanical. Functionally, @30in-lb I need the clutch to allow my output shaft to turn freely so that it doesn't burn my motor up after it has torqued to 30in-lb. Then motor will need to unscrew the lid off my valve. I calculated...

    Torque Limiting Clutches

    Hey guys, I have a DC motor that I will most likely chain drive a shaft with. The output shaft will need to be limited to 27-37 in-lb. The output shaft will rotate very slowly. (no specifics yet, but probably at least under 50RPM). I need to find a cheap torque limiting clutch that in one...

    Signal Generator Work Around

    Solution found. You can change groups from the command window. e.g. if I have a .mdl named mike, and lets say my signal builder is in a subsystem called hello this would be how to access it. You can also double click on signal builder block and get the 'mike/hello' reference from the bar at...

    Signal Generator Work Around

    How do you do that?

    Signal Generator Work Around

    It doesnt seem like there is an enabler. Thats why I had to use a multiswitch along with all of the output ports from my signal generator to select which signal I wanted to pass forward. Generating my signal would be possible, however It wouldnt be practical if I needed to modify any of the...

    Signal Generator Work Around

    Hi, I am trying to use simulink to test multiple actuators depending on the type of control, longitudinal, collective, lateral etc.. I have my simulink model set up where I can make the actuator type selection via GUI to feed my simulink model the parameters for a longitudinal, collective...
