The Morse Torque Limiter is a protective device that limits torque transmitted in a drive system by slipping when the torque demand exceed a preset value as a result of shock loads, overloads, or machine jams. It automatically re-engages when the overload torque has passed; no re-setting is required. It prevents machine damage and eliminates costly breakdown time.

The Original Torque Limiter
The Torque Limiter utilises spring loaded friction surfaces for its operation; slip torque is preset by adjustment of the spring force. The Torque Limiter can be used with a sprocket, gear, sheave or flange as the centre member clamped between two friction facings. Offered complete with a range of specially machined platewheels and shaft to shaft couplings, with torque range 3 - 8540 Nm.
Metric Series Torque Limiters
To extend the range of torque capability a new series of Torque Limiters is offered providing both smaller and larger sized units with a range of 1.5 to 10,000 Nm. These units are all to metric dimensions, and as with the original series are available with a roller chain coupling for shaft to shaft connection.
Torque Limiter combined with Roller Chain Flexible Coupling
The Torque Limiter Coupling combines overload protection with ability to connect in-line shafts. The unit consists of a standard Torque Limiter and platewheel connected to a special coupling sprocket by duplex Roller Chain. Available in eleven standard sizes, they are easy assembly units providing protection and reliability.
