Features & Benefits

  • Unit limits overloads or machine jams

  • Adjustable spring pressure determines overload setting and automatically reengages drive when overload condition subsides
  • Unit can be used with a sprocket, gear, sheave or flange plate as the center member between the two friction facings
  • Easy adjustment
  • Compact
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Durable
  • Safe, non-asbestos friction facings
  • Available as a torque-limiting coupling
*Torque Limiter Couplings have been used successfully at motor speeds up to 1750 rpm when driving a pump or gearbox.
     Bore Range........................... 0.38" - 4.87"
     Torque Range........................ 1 - 6,300 Lb-ft.
     Precision-Tripping Torque....... ±25%
     Max RPM............................. 1400*

The Torque Limiter Coupling combines overload slip protection with the ability to couple driving and driven shafts. Both angular and parallel misalignment can be accommodated by the double roller chain design.
