Stratford, Conn.— Frank Roth Co. has announced availability of a patent-pending, full-function torque controller. (FFTC). This mechanical device offers reduction in weight and size, operates at ac motor speeds as well as reduced speed, changes torque overload setting in an infinitely variable mode while operating under load, and is programmable using electronic controls. It can also be set manually. FFTC is intended for a broad spectrum of mechanical power machinery. The first basic model ranges from 0 to 120 in.-lb. torque; motor shaft sizes, 1/2-7/8 in. (0.25-1.5 hp). Frank Roth Co. Inc.
