Mechanical Friction Torque Limiter Mechanisms with Adapters

Mechanical Friction Torque Limiter Mechanisms with Adapters

Continuously Engaged, Momentary Overload Protection

Function: Overload Protection
Drive Arrangement: Shaft to Adapter Mounted Component

Operation

  • Mechanically adjustable, continuously engaged friction torque limiter slips in the event of an overload.
  • Torque at which limiter will slip is field adjustable through the tightening or loosening of a nut.
  • Adjustment nut is locked in place by set screws when desired torque setting is established.

Mounting

  • Through/Mid Shaft or End of Shaft.
  • Torque Limiter slides on shaft and is fixed with set screws and customer supplied key.
  • Adapter connects to a fully supported, bearing mounted pulley, gear, or sprocket.
  • Note: Mechanism DOES NOT support Adapter.

Applications

  • Momentary overload protection.
  • For continuous slip or tension control applications, a SensiFlex® clutch or brake should be used.
  • Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

  • No reset required.
  • Bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) for easy installation.
  • Machined face and bolt circle on adapter facilitate connection to bearing mounted pulley or gear.
