PEAK SHAVER
FROM RIVERHAWK

PEAK SHAVER SAFETY HUB - DRIVE THROUGH TRANSIENTS

The Riverhawk Peak Shaver is a hydraulically-activated component that seamlessly integrates into a comprehensive coupling system. It collaborates with a flexible coupling to shield machinery from the transmission of undesired forces.

 

This versatile device can be mounted either on the shaft, replacing a hub, or between shafts, serving as a spacer piece.

Under standard operating conditions, the Peak Shaver flawlessly transmits the entirety of the shaft power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft. This ensures robust protection when a machine encounters a sudden surge in torque.

 

In the event of such a spike, the device’s internal mechanism slips, allowing both shafts to maintain their rotation. Once the torque surge subsides, the device re-engages, resuming the transmission of the standard torque load.

This design ensures optimal performance and protection for your machinery.

Main features:

• Prevents damage due to torque spikes
• Reduces cost and size of original equipment
• Drives through torque spikes
• Automatic Re-Grip
• Simple, compact and reliable
• Minimal reset time results and minimum loss of production
