Modified CDWdrives Torque Limiter

The CDWdrives team of engineers and service experts bored and added a custom bushing to an in-stock CDWdrives 211 torque limiter. They also custom-machined a plate to attach a high-quality Zero-Max flexible shaft coupling. This solution saved the customer both time and money on the repair, and the new components will improve efficiency.

CDWdrives Torque Limiter + Samiflex Couplings

We reverse-engineered an assembly that was soon to be obsolete. The CDWdrives engineers and service team got them back up and running in 1/3 of the time compared to what it would have taken to replace the entire assembly, and at a much lower cost. Our solution worked so well that our customer is standardizing this assembly on dozens of their machines to avoid future component failures.

Replace Obsolete Components

Problem: The customer needed to replace a broken, obsolete worm gear reducer and torque limiter with long lead times. They wanted to reuse the existing input gear stage and bracketry. Solution: We reverse-engineered and selected a new Nord Gear Flexbloc series reducer that fits seamlessly with the existing components. The customer easily and quickly assembled the input gear stage to the new reducer and mounted a CDWdrives torque limiter with a custom bore and sprocket.

Reverse Engineered custom component for replacement

Due to its unique specifications, we could not replace the damaged custom tapered shaft with a standard shaft. To address this issue, we reverse-engineering a replacement shaft. This new shaft, which we meticulously designed and built, integrated seamlessly with the gearbox we had rebuilt. This approach ensured that the replacement met the necessary functional requirements and maintained the integrity and performance of the entire system.
