Protecting machine workpieces
Torque limiting is often needed to protect machine workpieces, tooling and even machine operators. Whilst the ideal place for limiting is usually the output shaft of the gearbox, mounting there can be impractical if high torques lead to the selection of large and costly torque limiters.
>The new range of Comintec PR torque limiters from Techdrives gets round this problem with a design suited to B5 mounting at the high speed input shaft to the gearbox. Here they are a cost-effective solution for machine protection when used with efficient gearboxes, for example helical and helical bevel designs.
>PR torque limiters with B5 aluminium housing are designed to easily mount between the motor and gearbox suiting frame sizes from 63 to 180.
