RENCOL? Multiplex Rings

Specification

These are RENCOL? single piece rings, but with two or three sets of waves in parallel giving increased performance.  This simplifies the machining requirements on mating components.

Torque Transfer

In a torque transfer application, the RENCOL? Tolerance Ring sits between the driving shaft and the gear/pulley.  The amount of torque is controlled by the design characteristics of the Tolerance Ring.  The RENCOL? Tolerance Ring is an inexpensive solution which eliminates the need for costly machining operations such as keyways.

Torque Overload Protection

In a torque overload application, the RENCOL? Tolerance Ring sits between the driving shaft and the driven gear/pulley.  The application slips at a predetermined torque level controlled by the design characteristics of the RENCOL? Tolerance Ring.  The Tolerance Ring acts as an inexpensive slip clutch protecting expensive mechanisms such as gear boxes and motors from damaging torque overload situations.
