• 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.
• Enclosed Structure
The torque limiter is enclosed to keep out gas, dust and other environmental contaminants. Combines with Other Protective Devices The torque limiter may be connected to another alarm system (i.e., buzzer and/or lamp) as an option to warn of power failure.
• High Precision
The basic component of the torque limiter is a high-precision coil spring. Under load, the spring deflects in proportion to torque. Repeatability of the torque set point is +5% to +10%.
• Instantaneous Overload Response
Overload response time is much faster than comparable electrical systems.
• Option to Withstand Start-up Torque
The torque set point may optionally withstand start-up torque by bypassing the limit switch current.
