Torque Limiting Clutches
I see. Well in any case, I should be able to get away with a clutch that only slips in one direction? If I set my timing right on my system, the motor will only cause the clutch to slip for a small period of time, (1-2 seconds). My system will only open & close the valve one time every 2...- mmazzuc1

Torque Limiting Clutches
Also. I was wondering if a servo motor can be used for something like this? I am not sure how servos perform under loaded conditions though. I would think I could tighten the valve, set that position as my motors initial condition. Have it rotate my valve open, and then close it etc. Can...- mmazzuc1

Torque Limiting Clutches
Yeah, something similar to that. I would like it to be fully mechanical. Functionally, @30in-lb I need the clutch to allow my output shaft to turn freely so that it doesn't burn my motor up after it has torqued to 30in-lb. Then motor will need to unscrew the lid off my valve. I calculated...- mmazzuc1

Torque Limiting Clutches
Hey guys, I have a DC motor that I will most likely chain drive a shaft with. The output shaft will need to be limited to 27-37 in-lb. The output shaft will rotate very slowly. (no specifics yet, but probably at least under 50RPM). I need to find a cheap torque limiting clutch that in one...- mmazzuc1

Signal Generator Work Around
Solution found. You can change groups from the command window. e.g. if I have a .mdl named mike, and lets say my signal builder is in a subsystem called hello this would be how to access it. You can also double click on signal builder block and get the 'mike/hello' reference from the bar at...- mmazzuc1

Signal Generator Work Around
It doesnt seem like there is an enabler. Thats why I had to use a multiswitch along with all of the output ports from my signal generator to select which signal I wanted to pass forward. Generating my signal would be possible, however It wouldnt be practical if I needed to modify any of the...- mmazzuc1

Signal Generator Work Around
Hi, I am trying to use simulink to test multiple actuators depending on the type of control, longitudinal, collective, lateral etc.. I have my simulink model set up where I can make the actuator type selection via GUI to feed my simulink model the parameters for a longitudinal, collective...- mmazzuc1
