    Precise-Control Linear Speed Limiters

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Contains Annotated. Speed Limiters. Precise-Control Linear Speed Limiters.
    Regulate the speed or feed rate of drill presses, milling machines, lathes, and similar devices. These speed limiters have a knob with numbered scale so you can make precise adjustments to the resistance. Insert a rod in the mounting hole in the knob to rotate for adjustments.
    A cycle is one rod stroke from extended to compressed and back to the original extended position.
    0% Free Travel of Stroke—Free travel of stroke is 0%, so the entire stroke is speed controlled.
