The VARITRON® Cycloid Drive unique cycloid gear design has advantages superior to speed reducers using common involute tooth gears. The key to VARITRON®'s Cycloid Drive matchless performance and reliability is that 67% of the reduction components are in contact at all times, compared to helical gear and planetary gear designs that use only limited tooth contact. Unlike geared designs, the Varitron®'s reduction components operate in compression rather than shear, which results to withstand shock loads exceeding ratings of 500%, provide exceptional performance, reliability and long life in most severe applications.
Features
• Safe Unattended Operation
Reliable torque limiter response to overload cuts motor power automatically, stopping the driven machine.
• Cost Effective Machine Design
The limit set on a Cyclo® unit equipped with a torque limiter is more accurate and reliable when compared to conventional torque limiters.Consequently, use of a lower safety factor on auxiliary equipment maybe considered, which will decrease the cost of the entire system.
• Bi-directional Torque Setting
Usually the torque limiter is set for only one direction of slow speed shaft rotation; however, if requested, it can be set for bi-direction.
• Easy Set Point Adjustment
The factory sets all calibration levels. No further adjustments are required. However, you can make an adjustment within +25% of set torque by rotating the adjusting bolt that changes restraint spring load and set point.
