voimanrajoittimet
Voimanrajoittimet, often translated as force limiters, are safety devices designed to control and reduce the peak forces exerted in a system, particularly during sudden impacts or accelerations. They are commonly employed in mechanical engineering, automotive safety, and industrial machinery to prevent damage, protect occupants, and enhance overall system reliability. The primary function of a voimanrajoitin is to absorb or dissipate kinetic energy over a longer period, thereby lowering the maximum force experienced. This is achieved through various mechanisms, such as the deformation of materials, the use of hydraulic or pneumatic systems, or the engagement of slipping clutches.
In automotive applications, voimanrajoittimet are a crucial component of seatbelt systems. When a sudden deceleration occurs,
