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.
