    Noncontact Magnetic Torque Limiters

    Using magnetic force instead of friction to transmit torque, these torque limiters won't wear when they slip. Because there's no wear, they give you accurate, repeatable action. Also known as hysteresis clutches, use them to brake, control tension, and prevent torque overload. They are designed to slip during a torque overload while still transmitting the set torque. For example, you can use them to maintain a constant tension while winding and unwinding wire. All are through-shaft torque limiters, so they regulate torque transmission between an input shaft and a mounted component, such as a pulley, sprocket, or gear. Twist the adjustment ring to set the torque limit, then lock the ring into place with the included set screw.

    Prevent damage from overloading. When overloaded, these limiters cause your sprocket or pulley to slip. Once the overload is removed, the limiters automatically reset. Set the torque within the range listed. Friction lining is between the hub and pressure plate.
    Double Spring—Double-spring limiters have a second spring for handling nearly twice the torque of single-spring limiters.
    Sprockets—Sprockets are designed specifically to fit their corresponding limiters. These hubless sprockets are not interchangeable.

    Overload-Protection Spring-Loaded Torque Limiters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Torque Limiters. Overload-Protection Spring-Loaded Torque Limiters .
    Protect your machinery if there is a jam, emergency stop, or other overload by cutting off torque between shafts when a maximum torque is reached. These torque limiters automatically resume transmitting torque once it drops below the set maximum. They should not be used in applications that frequently exceed the maximum torque. Since they come factory-set to a maximum torque, there’s no adjustment required and no risk of unintended changes to the torque setting.
    They act as a flexible shaft coupling, so they reduce vibration and protect components from wear by compensating for angular and parallel misalignment. Fasten to your shafts by tightening the set screws, which bite into each shaft to hold it.

    Unlike standard AC motors, these motors have an integrated brake that activates after a power loss to hold your equipment in place. They’re often used with conveyors to stop them from moving backwards after a power loss, and with hoists to prevent them from dropping a load. Mount their base to flat surfaces. Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run equipment that never turns off. Their shaft is keyed, and they come with key stock.
    Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) Motor Enclosure—These motors have a TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) enclosure that protects better than an ODP (open dripproof) enclosure. They aren’t airtight, but they can be used in dirty, dusty, and wet environments. To keep the motor cool, the enclosure has an external fan that blows air over the outside of the motor.

    When these motors lose power, a brake engages to hold your equipment’s position, unlike standard AC motors. They’re often used with conveyors to keep items in place after a power loss, and with hoists to stop them from dropping a load. Mount them from the base or face. Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run equipment that never turns off. Their shaft is keyed, and they come with key stock.

    A built-in brake engages to hold your equipment in place when these motors lose power, unlike standard AC motors. These motors are often used with conveyors to keep items in place after a power loss, and with hoists to prevent them from dropping a load.
