Torque Limiter Manufacturer

Torque Limiter

Torque limiters are safety devices that limit the torque transmitted in a drive system by slipping when torque demand exceeds a preset value, due to sudden impacts, overloads or machine jams. When the over load torque has passed, it automatically reengages, no resetting is required. The torque limiter protects the machine and reduces costly downtime. Torque limiters operate by using spring-loaded friction surfaces, slip torque is set by adjusting the spring force. The Torque limiter can be used as a center member clamped between two friction facings with a sprocket, gear, sheave, or flange plate.

Chain couplings are compact, durable components made of steel that connect two shafts to transmit power efficiently. They are designed to handle high torque while taking up very little space, making them an economical choice for power transmission. Their simple design makes them easy to install and remove, saving time and effort.

The sprockets in these couplings are identical, which helps maintain balance during operation and minimizes vibration. The flexible roller chain, along with the gap between the chain rollers and sprocket teeth, allows for slight misalignments and some movement of the shafts.

Standard sizes of these couplings are usually sufficient for most power transmission needs. However, custom couplings can be made to order for specific applications. If you need a recommendation or quote for a custom coupling, please provide complete details such as horsepower, RPM, hub dimensions, bore and keyway sizes, and the general operating conditions.

TORQUE LIMITER COUPLING

BV Transmission Offers a Torque Limiter Coupling in 14 different sizes. This coupling consists of a stock Torque Limiter and a roller chain type coupling.

The Torque Limiter coupling safeguards against overloads slip protection with the ability to driven shafts and couple driving. It is comprises of a standard Toque Limiter and a roller chain coupling. The Torque Limiter's center member is a stock ground plate sprocket that is coupled to a sprocket via an I.S. double strand roller chain which is easily connected using a standard connecting link. This design provides a reliable and simple-to-assemble flexible coupling that compensates for shaft misalignment.
