With Dtect operators can take actions to prevent potential problems and avoid unplanned downtime. By supporting better decision making, Dtect also increases productivity and significantly lowers production and maintenance costs. Dtect enables comprehensive monitoring of a […]
Zero-Max Torq-Tenders offer a pre-set torque value for consistent machine operation
The Zero-Max Torq-Tender is an enclosed device with no external adjustment features. It has a pre-set torque value and once installed, cannot be changed. This feature safeguards against improper or unauthorized torque adjustments. Designed to avoid system damage, Zero-Max Torq-Tenders provide dependable overload protection. When a jam-up or excessive loading occurs, the built-in Torq-Tender will […]
Standard disc spring torque limiters from Bibby Turboflex
During normal running torque is continuously transmitted from the hub to the flange through balls or rollers held in indentations in matching halves of a carrier flange by disc springs. As the torque exceeds a pre-set limit the balls or rollers are forced out of their indentations, allowing the flange sections to rotate separately. At […]
Overload protection for hard to reach drives
mayr power transmission’s EAS-reverse is a new, disengaging torque limiter on which all functional processes can be automated through the drive. It is easy to handle, permits long run-out times and re-engages again through slow backwards rotation. A housing also makes the clutch resistant to dust or spray water – and thus ideal for use […]
Overload protection for hard to access drives
EAS-reverse – the disengaging torque limiter with automatic re-engagement With their EAS-reverse, mayr power transmission has developed a new, disengaging torque limiter on which all functional processes can be automated through the drive. It is easy to handle, permits long run-out times and re-engages again through slow backwards rotation. A housing also makes the clutch […]
R+W releases new STF flange mounted torque limiter
R+W has recently launched a special heavy duty configuration for adaptation to flange mounted torque transducers, gearboxes, Cardan shafts, and more. The new STF series is available in five sizes and can be configured for disengagement torques between 200 to 45,000 Nm. Customers can individually adjust the safety elements to fine tune the disengagement torque […]
R+W reveals new models and sizes for high torque ST safety couplings
High capacity torque limiters from R+W now have more customization and sizing options than ever before. After years of development, the ST line has added 5 sizes across the product line as well as 4 new models to better meet requirements in all industries. The newly available sizes will broaden the range from 2KNm to […]
Wind turbine torque limiters protect against peak loads
Zero-Max Wind Turbine Torque Limiters protect wind turbine gearboxes and generators against peak loads, reversing torques, and grid short events. They are suitable as an upgrade replacement for existing wind turbines and for OEM applications. The Zero Max torque limiter is engineered to mount directly to the generator shaft to avoid resonance concerns allowing for […]
Is a torque limiter a clutch?
When Coupling Tips.com spoke with KTR Engineering Services Manager, Chris Scholz we asked him about some of the common misconceptions about torque limiters and their applications. Scholz specifically mentioned clutches being brought up in torque limiter inquiries when he fields application questions. Here is what he had to say about approaching torque limiter specification for […]
