MECHANICAL FRICTION TORQUE LIMITER MECHANISMS WITH COUPLINGS Overload Protection Between Two Supported Shafts with No Angular or Parallel Misalignment Function: Overload Protection Drive Arrangement: Shaft to Shaft, No Angular Misalignment and/or Parallel Offset Torque limiter mechanism is through bored and keyed to connect to a fully supported shaft. Coupling is bored and keyed to connect to a fully supported shaft. Operation Continuously engaged friction torque limiter slips when the torque setting is exceeded. Continues to slip until the overload ceases. Each half of the assembly, (1) torque limiter mechanism and (2) the coupling/sleeve assembly, is attached to a fully supported shaft. The tabs on the outside of the friction discs in the mechanism slide into the slots in the coupling/sleeve assembly, creating a connection for the transfer of rotary motion from one shaft to the other. IMPORTANT: If precise alignment of the two shafts cannot be obtained, consider a flexible torque coupling model. Application Momentary overload protection. Torque limiters are not recommended in continuous slip or tension control applications. Consider a SensiFlex® tension control clutch or brake. Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets. Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM. Design Features No reset is required after torque limiter slips. The slip torque setting can be adjusted. Both the torque limiter mechanism and coupling/sleeve assembly are bored and keyed to fit any shaft size up to the maximum shown (US & Metric).
