Safety couplings

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

• Long service life and consistent reliability
• Optimum protection against external influences
• Easy mounting in coaxial or parallel transmissions
• Easy torque adjustment
• Extremely precise response accuracy
• Versatile adaptability to customer-specific requirements
  

The safety clutch with linear force limitation enables axial disengagement both in compression and in tension as soon as the target force is reached. The thrust can be adjusted on the springs. Engagement is automatic. A connection is also possible with remote linear motion systems.
