How much do you know about torque limiters? Jiangsu Wuxi Zejia Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. will give you a brief introduction!
Torque limiters are also called torque couplings and safety couplings. According to the structure, they are mainly divided into friction torque limiters and ball torque limiters.
The friction torque limiter uses a locking nut to make the spring generate elastic force, which acts on the friction plate and clamps the wheel-shaped objects such as sprockets between two friction plates. Due to the elastic force, the friction plate and the sprocket generate friction between them, thereby transmitting torque.
When the equipment is overloaded, there will be relative sliding between the sprocket and the friction plate, but the torque during sliding remains between the two. At this time, the active end idles, causing the transmission end to stop.
Precision springs are used to control critical torque to achieve very accurate torque values. For products with the same external dimensions, different internal springs can be replaced to determine different sliding torques. Used to install one side of the shaft and the other side of the transmission. Customers need a coupling to facilitate the customer’s shaft-to-shaft connection.
The torque limiter, also known as the torque limiter, is a component that connects the main machine and the working machine. It is mainly an overload protection. The torque limiter is when the required torque exceeds the set value due to overload or mechanical failure. The torque limiter limits the torque transmitted by the transmission system in the form of slippage;
Slippage can also output a signal to stop the motor and reducer, and automatically restore the connection when the overload condition disappears. This can prevent mechanical damage and avoid costly downtime.
