  We consider a nonlocal parabolic model for a micro-electro-mechanical system.
Specifically, for a radially symmetric problem with monotonic initial data, it
is shown that the solution quenches, so that touchdown occurs in the device, in
a situation where there is no steady state. It is also shown that quenching
occurs at a single point and a bound on the approach to touchdown is obtained.
Numerical simulations illustrating the results are given.
