A torque limiter is a mechanical device that prevents mechanical overload by controlling the amount of torque the drive shaft is subject to. It can completely decouple the load or allow it to slip during overload. There are several designs, including shear pins, synchronous magnets, bawl catch and pawl, friction plates, magnetic particles, and magnetic […]
A diode clamp limits AC supply voltage or audio signals to a preset value using one or two Zener diodes in parallel with the power or signal. It can control the amplitude of a signal by clipping half or both halves of the waveform. Zener diodes limit the voltage to a predetermined level, and resistors […]
