Use friction to prevent torque overload, control tension, and brake. These torque limiters slip when there’s too much torque while still transmitting the set torque. For example, they could be used in a machine that tightens a bottle cap to a certain torque without overtightening and breaking the bottle. Because they rely on friction, exposing them to moisture, oil, or lubricants can affect their performance. They have an adjustment ring, so you can set the torque limit by hand without removing them from your shaft. Fasten them to your shaft by tightening the set screws, which bite into the shaft to hold it.
