By Ringfeder Editor Earthquake-resistant construction is vital to keeping people safe and preventing economic losses in earthquake-prone regions. To ensure the safety of the public and infrastructure, it’s important to comply with all applicable earthquake codes and standards, which are consistently updated with data collected from recent earthquakes and related research. Numerous seismic standards have […]

By Ringfeder Editor Maintenance engineers at a cement production facility were recently experiencing repeated equipment failures. Upon investigation, they found the shaft-pinion connection of the ball mill unit was malfunctioning. Specifically, the locking assembly that connected the shaft to the pinion was out of tolerance with an abnormally high run-out of 300 to 400 micrometers […]

Optimizing brake performance when constrained by space requirements can be a challenge. That’s why we designed the AFJ Jaw Air/Hydraulic/Pneumatic Brake to provide ideal positioning, holding, and indexing performance in cramped environments. Compact, High Torque Output The AFJ is a spring-set jaw brake that provides torques from 5 to 5,000 pound-feet, efficiently utilizes space, and […]

Mining operations require reliable components to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and the environment. To prepare ore for shipping, the raw material is transported to cargo holds aboard ships or trains via loaders traveling along a rail track. Industrial buffers are often installed at the end of the track to halt and slow loads […]

Ringfeder is gearing up for two important events happening in October — the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) Industry Summit and the Association for High Technology Distribution (AHTD) Fall Meeting. These trade shows will bring together distributors and manufacturers of industrial power transmission, motion control, and high-technology automation solutions. Ringfeder is excited to gather alongside […]

By Ringfeder editor Medium-duty applications — like starting and stopping medical diagnostic equipment and robotics — require reliable, precision-engineered brakes. Our AFS Multiple Disc Air/Hydraulic Spring Set Brake meets these requirements, delivering high-performance, fast and reliable action. Here’s how it works: The AFS applies braking torque when air or hydraulic pressure is removed from the […]

How RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION implements a safe and maintenance-free end stop for a ship loader in Northern Brazil. In a large mine in Northern Brazil, the journey of iron ore begins: the processed raw material is tipped from railway wagons onto a conveyor belt, which then transports it to a ship loader that moves along […]

Cranes and hoists are only as good as the components that make them up. One of their key components is the coupling, which is essential to maintaining uptime and enhancing the safety and reliability of your operation. Without the right coupling, your crane or hoist may not function properly, causing your process to grind to […]

The high-quality original from the world market leader: RINGFEDER Shrink Discs are flange-shaped, friction-locked shaft-hub connections and the more powerful and reliable alternative to conventional shrink fits, wedge, keyway, or polygonal connections. In contrast to internal locking devices, e.g. locking assemblies, the pressure is applied from the outside to the hollow shaft or hub, thus […]

Reaching the required amount of torque in space-constrained power transmission systems — which is often the case for applications like servo drive brakes or emergency stopping brakes — can sometimes be difficult. Fortunately, our HTB high-torque, spring-set brake excels in these and other tough applications, thanks to quality materials, precision engineering, and a compact design. […]

The Proven Reliability of the FEA Fail-Safe Spring Set Electromagnetic Clutch By Ringfeder Editor When developing fail-safe systems for precise, delicate, or heavy-duty machine applications, components that deliver extreme reliability and high performance are invaluable. The FEA Fail-Safe Spring Set Electromagnetic Clutch features a durable design with high-strength components to provide high torque in a […]

By Ringfeder Editor Cranes, emergency stop equipment, and packaging machines all require optimal precision, durability, and performance in their braking systems. At the same time, ample installation space is often a luxury. Sacrificing performance to squeeze a brake into the available space can cause breakdowns, impacting operations and driving up costs. Instead, consider the HBB […]

High-strength Elastomer Jaw Couplings of the proven RINGFEDER TNB series – once TSCHAN TNB – convince globally in the most demanding heavy-duty applications by superior durability and functionality – for maximum operational reliability of the machines and plants of their users. The puncture-proof and torsionally flexible couplings effectively compensate for axial, radial, and angular shaft […]

Gasoline engines, pumps, generators, and other machines operating in rugged environments require long-lasting components to ensure successful performance. Clutches designed with durable materials can prevent breakdowns, which would otherwise lead to expensive maintenance and downtime. One example of a ruggedized clutch — the EPC multiple-disc electric pulley clutch — consists of a standard electromagnetic multiple-disc […]

HVLS (high-volume, low-speed) fans are generally ceiling-mounted and are less often of the wall-mounted type. They are more than 7-ft (2.1 m) in diameter. Their functional principle relies on size and not on speed to move a large amount of air. Though HVLS fans are used in a wide variety of applications, they are predominantly […]
