KHK USA Inc. announces new Line of Ratchets & Pawls

KHK® ratchets & pawls restrict the rotational direction of motion


Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its new line of ratchets & pawls, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. Known as the SRT series, these ratchet gears and corresponding pawls are designed to limit rotational motion to one direction.

When designing a motion application, there are times when you want to prevent reverse rotation of the drive shaft. Use of a KHK® stock ratchet and pawl will allow for rotation in one direction but will halt rotation in the opposite direction. KHK® Ratchet gears are produced in six tooth sizes to resist torque loads from 3 Nm to 550 Nm.

All of the KHK® ratchets and pawls are made from 1045 carbon steel and feature induction hardened teeth for added durability. The ratchet gears are included in the KHK® J series program where stock bores can be open along with the addition of keyways and sets screws, with production requiring only 3 business days.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
