Mechanical Friction Torque Limiter – Through Shaft Continuously Engaged, Momentary Overload Protection Function: Overload Protection Drive Arrangement: Shaft to Pilot Mounted Component or Pilot Mounted Component to Shaft Torque limiter is through bored and keyed for connection to a shaft in any axial location. A sprocket, pulley or v-belt sheave can be mounted on the torque limiter pilot. 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 Torque limiters can be mounted Through/Mid Shaft or End of Shaft. Torque limiter slides on shaft and is fixed with set screws and a customer supplied key. 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. Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM. Design Features No reset required after torque limiter slips. Torque limiters are bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) for easy installation. Machined pilot for easy mounting of pulley or sprocket.
