Torque Limiters, Couplings & Components

To prevent machine and drive damage and eliminate costly machine downtime the Morse Torque Limiter is a protective device that LIMITS TORQUE transmitted in a drive system by slipping when the torque demand exceed a preset value as a result of shock loads, overloads or machine jams. It automatially re-engages when the overload torque has passed; no re-setting is required. It prevents machine damage and eliminates costly breakdown time. The Torque Limiter utilises spring loaded friction surfaces for its operation; slip torque is preset by adjustment of the spring force. The Torque Limiter can be used with a sprocket, gear, sheave or flange as the centre member clamped between two friction facings.
