With zero backlash (no play), there’s no motion lost when these torque limiters transfer torque, so machines move smoothly with accurate and repeatable motion. They protect your machinery if there is a jam, emergency stop, or other overload by cutting off torque when a maximum torque is reached. They automatically resume transmitting torque once it drops below the set maximum. When they resume, they start transmitting torque from the same position where they stopped, keeping your drive and output sides in sync. They should not be used in applications that frequently exceed the set torque. You can adjust the set torque by using a spanner wrench to twist the adjustment ring.

To help you detect an overload, they have a sensor ring that moves out of place when these limiters cut off torque. Use a sensor (not included) to trigger an alarm or a shutdown when the ring moves.

They clamp evenly around your shaft for more holding power than set screws and won't damage your shaft.

Shaft-to-shaft torque limiters also act as a flexible shaft coupling, so they compensate for angular and parallel misalignment as they regulate torque transmission between shafts. This reduces vibration and protects components from wear. For a complete unit, you’ll need a torque limiter, a hub, and a spider (all sold separately).

Through-shaft torque limiters regulate torque transmission between an input shaft and a mounted component, such as a pulley, sprocket, or gear.
