Viscous Damper - Rotary
Viscous Damper - Rotary
(OP)
Is anyone aware of a "rotary viscous damper" device that could be used to allow for rotation below specified speeds at low "drag" and would increase drag torque at higher speeds? I want to use this device as a safety feature on a motion control system. The motion is by a carriage (with drive motor) along a rail. If the drive shaft or gear (rack and pinion) of the drive motor fails (single point critical element) I want the viscous damper to retard the drop speed of the carriage assembly to acceptable levels.

I worked a long time in research on these units, so if you need more info, get in touch...BTW, the also make good driveline vibration dampers....
