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

• Set screws and customer supplied key connect the torque limiter mechanism to one shaft and the coupling hub to a second fully supported shaft
• Note: Torque Limiter Mechanism DOES NOT support Coupling

Applications

• Momentary overload protection
• Torque limiters are not recommended in continuous slip or tension control applications. A SensiFlex® clutch or brake should be used instead.
• 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 after torque limiter slips
• Elastomeric element compensates for up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment and up to 0.040 parallel offset between shafts
• Both torque limiter mechanism and coupling bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) to accept differing shaft sizes
