Client Testimonials
Here at Howdon we have provided Torque Limiters, Couplings, Brakes and Thrusters to many happy customers over the years. Here's what just a few of them have said about working with us...
"We had been developing a test rig for two years to help a client test a manual clutch system for new Hybrid and Electric vehicles.
The problem was that we needed a torque limiter coupling that could run up to speeds of 6500 rpm and 900 Nm, but be small enough to fit into our newly designed test rig.
This was a quick turnaround job and Howdon's customer service was excellent, answering all our technical queries straight away."

"The gimbal was a pretty spectacular piece of engineering itself.
It was basically the entire cargo hold of a C-130, built to be able to rotate and roll 360 degrees continuously.
I think they could do up to nine consecutive revolutions at up to five seconds per revolution and the reason they couldn’t go continuously is that all the cabling to power the lights and everything else inside the set would get wound up."
