The R-type torque limiter is a mechanical element that shuts off force transmitted when it exceeds the set torque. Torque limiters are used in applications such as copiers and printers, as protective mechanisms to prevent from feeding multiple sheets of paper into the device, or to cancel any force transmitted by an excessive load on the motor. The R-type torque limiter is a new product series that uses plastic molded parts for the inner ring material that can be molded thin, allowing for a smaller diameter. This torque limiter can be used both forwards and in reverse.
