Torque limiter with elastic coupling STL Series

frictionmechanical

Flexible Mechanical Friction Torque Limiter Coupling Overload Protection Between Two Supported Shafts with Slight Angular and/or Parallel Misalignment Function: Overload Protection Drive Arrangement: Shaft to Shaft, Slight Angular Misalignment and/or Parallel Offset Torque limiter mechanism is through bored and keyed to connect to a fully supported shaft. Coupling is bored and keyed to connect to a fully supported shaft. Operation Continuously engaged friction torque limiter slips when the torque setting is exceeded. Continues to slip until the overload ceases. Each side of the assembly, (1) the torque limiter mechanism and the (2) coupling, is attached to a fully supported shaft creating a connection for the transfer of rotary motion from one shaft to the other. Applications Momentary overload protection. Torque limiters are not recommended in continuous slip or tension control applications. Consider a SensiFlex® tension control clutch or brake. 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. The slip torque setting can be adjusted. Elastomeric element compensates for up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment and up to 0.040 parallel offset between shafts. Each side of the assembly is bored and keyed to fit any shaft size up to the maximum shown (US and Metric). Mounting Set screws and customer supplied key connect the torque limiter mechanism to one shaft and the coupling hub to a second, fully supported shaft Both shafts must be bearing supported
