The torque limiters (safety couplings) of our partner ComInTec are mechanical components necessary to fit along the kinematic chain and are preferred to electronic safety devices because of a better response time, improved reliability, excellent configuration flexibility, easy fitting and adjustment, use at high speeds in hard environments in the presence of inertias and important masses.
In fact the electronic systems, which
normally act up to the transmission, present: delayed reaction time,
many factors as a source of error, configuration and management
complexity.
The fitting of the mechanical torque limiters along the
kinematic chain is therefore necessary for a reliable and complete
protection, in order to improve the level of safety and the machine,
according to the new EN ISO 13489-1 standards, reducing the average
possible broken-down and unproductive downtime.
Advantages
Sliding safety coupling where a plate wheel, pulley or other transmission component is interposed between two friction rings. Upon reaching the torque sliding ensures continuity in the transmission without damaging the components. The minimum to have a low cost protection.
Safety coupling with the transmission of motion by means of hardened balls inserted directly in the drive element, obtaining a simple, compact and competitive device. The disengagement occurs quickly and safely allowing the stop of the transmission if the calibrated torque is exceeded.
A ball safety coupling with high technology and precision. Provides backlash free transmission of motion with high sensitivity of reaction and an immediate release without peak load prior to release. The device can be adjusted by changing the pressure of the springs in the negative.
Safety coupling with the transmission of motion through rollers that allow complete disengagement when the calibrated torque is reached permitting a quick stop of the transmission due to micro-EM1. Suitable for transmitting high torque with high reliability and compact size.
A backlash free safety coupling with free rotati on and no residual torque suitable for high speed transmission. The disengagement is instantaneous once the torque is reached, the calibrati on is adjusted by changing the pressure of the springs. The re-engagement is manual, quick and reliable.
Safety coupling to be mounted between the motor and gear unit thus reducing significantly the size of the device at the same power output. Available in both slip that release versions.
Modular safety coupling, robust, suitable for “heavy industries” even at high speeds. After disconnection there is free rotation without residual torque, re-engagement is simple and manual.
Safety coupling with linear limitation of force. The axial disengagement can take place in both compression and tension once the calibrated force is reached, the re-engagement is automatic.
A friction clutch or roller with torque adjustment even during operation. Ability to disengage the drive and driven by pneumatic or electrical impulse. Low residual torque after disengagement. Calibration adjustable by changing the pressure (pneumatic) air supply.
Proven under very difficult application conditions, the function of MALMEDIE safety couplings is characterised by high precision of disengagement recurrences and rapid easy reset!
