Mechanical Torque Limiters

A mechanical torque limiter, installed between the output of a gear reducer and the driven shaft, protects the gear set if an overload happens on the conveyor system. The coupling bores are made specifically for the gearbox output shaft and main drive shaft. The elastomer transmits torque without backlash or vibration.

Typical Applications:

• Precise overload protection

• Backlash-free and torsionally rigid

• Compact, simple design

• Disengagement detection through indexing ring movement

• Low residual friction following disengagement

• Low moment of inertia

• Disengagement within milliseconds

• Double bearing support of pulley/sprocket
