Advantages

• Particularly suitable in applications with frequent slipping
• Better stability of slipping torque than Belleville spring torque limiters over duration of the operating ­period
• Adjustment of slipping torque setting according to the number of active springs – not through modification of spring pressure

Function

• When the preset slipping torque has been reached the built-in component (e. g. chain wheel) slips.
• During the slipping process, input and output rotate relative to each other and the preset slipping torque continues to be transmitted.
• Inherent in the slipping process is a high energy consumption.
• Re-engagement is not necessary.
