Intorq: Elevating Standards in Reliable Spring Applied Brake Solutions

Where precision and reliability are paramount, Intorq emerges as a leading brand synonymous with cutting-edge spring-applied brake solutions. From towering cranes to majestic wind turbines and vital lift systems, the products stand as the linchpin of diverse applications, showcasing an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.

Driving Force in Wind Turbines

The brake systems are at the forefront of innovation in wind turbines, addressing the unique challenges posed by these colossal structures. The distinctive features of the brakes, including extended maintenance intervals, resilience in extreme climatic conditions, and stringent braking torque tolerances, set them apart.

The rugged design and specialized corrosion protection of the brakes establish new benchmarks, particularly in the demanding offshore environment, where reliability is non-negotiable.

Ascending Safety in Lift Systems

In lift systems, safety takes precedence, and it delivers tailor-made solutions for various drive concepts within the lift technology realm. Whether dealing with geared motors or direct drives, the brake systems are meticulously engineered to meet specific requirements.

The BFK464-S dual-circuit brake with multi-coil technology, optimized for the latest compact direct drives, and the BFK466 with kidney-shaped brake callipers for axially short motors showcase its commitment to precision and efficiency.

Craning Expectations: Unleashing Brake Power

In crane and port facilities, as well as the offshore sector, brake power is pivotal due to the high hook loads involved. This brake solution not only meets but exceeds expectations by developing features tailored to this demanding application. A dedicated manual release, designed in compliance with stringent environmental protection standards, is a testament to its attention to detail in crane and port facility applications.

Industrial Trucks: Holding the Line

Industrial trucks demand specialized braking solutions, and they deliver brakes specifically crafted for use as parking/holding brakes with emergency stop capabilities. Proven effective in thousands of DC-driven electric vehicles in the field of drive technology for forklifts, the brakes also adapt seamlessly to vehicle developments based on AC technology.

The Future of Braking Technology

The brand's ability to cater to diverse applications, from wind turbines to industrial trucks, underscores its versatility and commitment to elevating industry standards.

From the towering heights of wind turbines to the intricate systems of lift technology and the heavy-duty demands of cranes and port facilities, their commitment to excellence shines through. As industries evolve, Intorq stands ready to meet the challenges, continually innovating and elevating the standards of brake technology.

Why Ravioli Slip Rings Outperform Traditional Designs

Image
  The ravioli slip ring is a flattened, round, disc-like shape that mimics the Italian pasta of the same name. This tiny design was developed to maximise space economy in settings where a standard tubular or capsule slip ring could be too bulky or heavy. It was not picked randomly. Another facet of their innovation is the use of materials that make slip rings easier to create. High-grade conduction metals, such as copper or silver alloys, for internal wiring, have been carefully selected for their superior gearbox performance. These are used with strong yet lightweight materials for the external shell, such as aluminium or various hardened plastics. The materials must be robust enough to withstand the demands of various working environments, hence increasing the slip rings' lifetime and durability. Ravioli slip rings differ from other types of slip rings because of a few distinguishing features. The most striking feature is its flat, tiny design, which has significant spac

Brakes Are An Essential Part Of Our Lives

Most people are well aware that when you drive a motor vehicle it will have a brake, and also a clutch - as long as it does not have an automatic gearbox in which case it only has the brakes. What most people may not realise is that many other pieces of equipment also require a brake and a clutch, including things such as cranes, for instance. That is understandable if you are not an engineer, but they are essential in order for everything to work as it should. So, if you are operating a crane from a cab 100 feet or more above the ground, there has to be a way to stop it when it lowers a heavy item, or any item really, to the ground - or the other way around, when it has lifted the load to whatever height is required. For that, you need a brake and a clutch. There are also many other pieces of equipment that are needed to swing the jib around and to run the load out along the jib to wherever it needs to be, and that includes a brake and clutch too. When you stop to think about it

How Long Will A Crane Last?

Many industries require the use of a crane for lifting heavy items and transporting them efficiently and with precision. When we say heavy loads, we mean it. For example, a Wolff 255B can lift a load of 14 tons at 100m a minute on a single line pull. However, many other cranes are slower. One of the things that we get asked at CY Electrical & Cranes is how long a crane can last before it is time to scrap it and replace it. Obviously, this can vary and there are a number of factors which will affect it. The average life of a crane can vary between 15 years and 50. Obviously, the quality of materials used in construction will have an effect, but then so will the weather. A crane is out in all weathers, no matter what, and the working parts of the crane can be affected. Too high and too low temperatures can cause issues. Parts can freeze and deteriorate. Oil will deteriorate as well. Dust, metal shavings, and other impurities that can arise on many construction sites will also h
