A mechanical torque limiter, installed between the output of a gear reducer and the driven shaft, protects the gear set if an overload happens on the conveyor system. The coupling bores are made specifically for the gearbox output shaft and main drive shaft. The elastomer transmits torque without backlash or vibration.
Typical Applications:
Precise overload protection
Backlash-free and torsionally rigid
Compact, simple design
Disengagement detection through indexing ring movement
Low residual friction following disengagement
Low moment of inertia
Disengagement within milliseconds
Double bearing support of pulley/sprocket
