Stainless Steel: Torque Limiters and Safety Couplings SK
Torque Limiting Clutch Series SK2 in Stainless Steel
Taking
up the challenge for greater technical demands in modern machine design
and construction, R+W has developed the unique
reliable Model SK2 Torque Limiting Clutch Coupling in Stainless Steel. Ideal
for clean room or
wash down applications in the packaging, food processing, and
medical industries.
Torque overload protection is often overlooked in machine design until something jams resulting in expensive damage and down time. The R+W Series SK2 safety coupling was developed specifically for this purpose. It uses a reliable ball detent system that is absolutely backlash-free and will disengage within 1 to 3 milliseconds when an overload is detected.
Four versions are available including a single position,
multi-position, load holding, and free wheeling. These
couplings are preset in the factory
to a customer specified disengagement torque and can be
adjusted in the field after installation.
These unique couplings are manufactured with a stainless
steel bellow exhibiting very high torsional rigidity with
zero backlash. An
important feature of this design is the fact that the bellow
can compensate for axial, angular, and lateral misalignment
simultaneously.
The moment of inertia is also very low due to its low mass
and low weight.
The SK2 Torque Limiting Clutch Couplings are available for
a torque range of 0.2 to 500 Nm (torque limit: 1.8 to 4,425
in. lbs.). Both shaft
hubs are
custom bored for
shaft sizes of 4 to 60 mm (0.16 to 2.36 in.).
