Zero backlash Torque Limiting Couplings and Safety Couplings SK
Patentad backlash-free Torque Limiters and Safety Couplings from R+W
Reliable Torque Overload Protection with Torque Limiting Couplings
The trend in industry is to design and incorporate more automation into production processes. machinery are becoming more accurate, requiring a higher degree of precision. They are becoming faster, using servo and DC drive technology, and they are more rigid to withstand the dynamic loads necessary to increase capacity and productivity.
Torque overloads caused by material jams, operator error, or a whole host of unforeseen reasons pose a significant threat to machine downtime.
Machine downtime in an automated production environment is very costly. Broken components, expensive technicians, and long lead times for custom components can make the difference between operating profitably or not. Torque overload couplings are an inexpensive insurance against downtime.
This catalog contains many different torque overload protection and torque limiting coupling designs. They all incorporate the reliable R+W design principle. The Torque Limiting Couplings are all torsionally rigid with absolute zero backlash.
The use of a reliable R+W Torque Limiter will isolate the driving from the driven elements within a matter of milliseconds, once the torque reaches a preset overload value. Incorporating R+W Torque limiting couplings into modern machine design will help insure high productivity and higher profits.
