Installing mechanical torque limiters is recommended in various situations:
Overloads at start-up
Accidental load peaks
Rotation reversals
Thanks to their immediate action, torque limiters protect systems from costly damage and ensure safe and reliable transmission.
Compared to electronic safety devices, mechanical torque limiters offer numerous advantages:
Faster and more precise response
Superior reliability even under heavy-duty conditions
Versatile configuration for different industrial applications
Easy to install and adjust
Optimal performance with high speeds and significant inertia
Electronic devices, in fact, operate upstream of the transmission and may present delays in response times, complex configuration, and a higher risk of errors.
The choice of torque limiter is based on determining the disengagement torque, a value higher than the torque required for the normal operation of the machine. This configuration ensures complete protection, preventing failures and reducing machine downtime.
For specific sectors, such as the food industry, we offer torque limiters in stainless steel or with suitable coatings, designed to ensure compliance with hygiene standards and resistance to harsh conditions.
Mechanical torque limiters not only increase the safety level of machines but also reduce the risk of failures and malfunctions. This results in greater operational reliability, reduced downtime and optimal protection for all industrial applications.
Torque limiters are essential devices for protecting mechanical transmission systems, ensuring safety and reliability in many industrial sectors. Here are some of the main applications:
Protection against overloads during milling, drilling and cutting operations.
Prevention of damage caused by programming errors or accidental blockages.
Safety during the movement of packaging lines and conveying systems.
Safeguarding equipment from excessive loads or unexpected failures.
Protection of looms and yarn processing machines from load peaks.
Protection of presses, bending machines and shears from sudden overloads.
Safety in machines such as circular saws, planers and milling machines.
Ensuring precision and protection during testing and inspections.
Protection of transmissions in conveyor belts and material handling systems.
Safety in cranes, hoists and forklifts.
Prevention of damage in case of blockages or overloads.
Protection of extraction and processing plants from excessive stress.
Applications in compliance with hygiene standards, with materials suitable for food contact.
Safeguarding critical components from failures or unexpected movements.
