    360° Rotation—Speed limiters with a 360° rotation angle are often used to move small hoods, flaps, and fans. A cycle is one shaft rotation.
    Clockwise and Counterclockwise Rotation—Clockwise-and-counterclockwise speed limiters dampen motion in both directions. Common uses for them include controlling the motion of a switch-activated door and opening and closing a DVD player.

    Speed limiters with a geared shaft must be used with gears that have the same 20° pressure angle and module.
    360° Rotation—Speed limiters with a 360° rotation angle are often used to move small hoods, flaps, and fans. A cycle is one shaft rotation.
    Clockwise and Counterclockwise Rotation—Clockwise-and-counterclockwise speed limiters dampen motion in both directions. Common uses for them include controlling the motion of a switch-activated door and opening and closing a DVD player.

    Adjustable-Torque Shaft
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Speed Limiters. Rotary Speed Limiters, Adjustable-Torque Shaft.
    Speed limiters with adjustable torque have a knob on the back to control damping torque. Use them in applications that require fine tuning.
    105° Rotation—Speed limiters with a 105°, 110°, or 130° rotation angle are commonly used for small movements, such as closing lids.
    Clockwise and Counterclockwise Rotation—Clockwise-and-counterclockwise speed limiters dampen motion in both directions. Common uses for them include controlling the motion of a switch-activated door and opening and closing a DVD player.
