WHAT IS Torque overload?
Torque overload is a dangerous threat to your operational safety, productivity and profitability. It occurs when the amount of rotational energy (torque) within a system exceeds the equipment’s threshold. Torque overload can stress equipment beyond capacity, resulting in damage or system failure and costly downtime.
HOW DO TORQUE LIMITER SPROCKETS PREVENT TORQUE OVERLOAD?
When unchecked, torque buildup exceeds a certain threshold. Tsubaki Torque Limiter Sprockets shut down the equipment to prevent the rotational energy from exceeding safe levels. When friction exceeds the pre-set torque limit, the sprocket slips and reduces the overloaded torque that transmits from the driveshaft to the sprocket. Once torque returns to acceptable levels, the sprocket stops slipping, and the equipment returns to normal operation.
Why Choose Tsubaki Sprockets to
Shut Down Torque Overload?
Superior Driveshaft Protection
During typical operation, Tsubaki Torque Limiter Sprockets will allow the central drive shaft to rotate and transmit force. When the rotational force exceeds the set value, the shaft slips between the friction disks, preventing the driveshaft from transmitting additional force until the torque reaches safe levels. Tsubaki Torque Limiter Sprockets safely reduce torque levels to ensure reliable, cost-effective operation.
Seamless Adjustability
Tsubaki Torque Limiter Sprockets make it easy to change settings with a simple adjusting nut. The product also comes with an automatic reset, so you don’t have to worry about manually resetting the sprocket after an overload occurs.
Wide Range of Options
Tsubaki Torque Limiter Sprockets come in a wide variety of sizes and tooth counts, making it easy to find the exact product for your operation’s needs. Our sprockets are composed of two composite friction disks compressed against a hardened-toothed sprocket with specialized springs. Our friction disk-style Torque Limiter Sprockets are available with settings from 1 to 9,310 Nm, with MTO options available for higher torque requirements.
