Rotary Speed Limiters
Install these rotary speed limiters at the hinges of small lids, doors, and access panels for smooth, quiet motion. They're often used in electronics applications.
Speed limiters with a 105°, 110°, or 130° rotation angle are commonly used for small movements, such as closing lids.
Speed limiters with a 360° rotation angle are often used to move small hoods, flaps, and fans. A cycle is one shaft rotation.
Dual direction 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.
Clockwise and counterclockwise speed limiters dampen motion in the listed direction, moving freely in the opposite direction. Use them in processes that require returning a part to its original position.
Speed limiters with a geared shaft must be used with gears that have the same 20° pressure angle and module.
Speed limiters with adjustable torque have a knob on the back to control damping torque. Use them in applications that require fine tuning.
