Working Procedure of Modular Torque Limiters

Torque Limiter Modules - Rota Free, Brunel

Modular torque limiters are made of high-quality materials. Many vital components are made of tool steels with precision ground to close tolerances. The products are specifically designed for overload safety in heavy-duty, high-speed, and high-inertia machines to instantly disconnect the driven side from the motor side, which rotates after disconnection. The products are used for the required machine disengagement torque through the nut.

How It Works

  • During regular duty, the torque is transmitted from the motor side to the driven side by a thrust pin and a tempered steel ball forced by the load of the disc springs into the detent seat of the ball.

  • In case of overload, when the torque demand exceeds the pre-set torque value

  1.  the resulting axial force from the detent seat overcomes the pre-adjusted springs load

  2.  produces an axial movement of the ball

  3.  forces the thrust pin to move the control segments radially outwards, permanently resting on the large diameter of the thrust pin.
