Friction Torque Limiter

Friction type torque limiter is a torque overload protection device that transmits torque through the frictional force between friction plates and transmission components such as sprockets, pulleys, gears, flanges, etc. When a large overload or impact load occurs and the transmitted torque exceeds the set slip torque, the friction plate and transmission components slide relative to each other, relying on the dynamic friction force between the friction plate and transmission components to transmit torque. After the overload is eliminated, the friction plate rotates together with the transmission components to restore normal operation. This type of limiter has a simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for situations where cost is limited, torque is high, and slip torque is not particularly precise.
The characteristics of friction torque limiters include:
Simple structure, easy to install and maintain.
Low cost, suitable for applications with low precision requirements.
High torque, able to withstand large loads.
By adjusting the clamping force of the friction plate clamping transmission component to regulate the slip torque, it has a certain degree of flexibility.
Widely applicable, including but not limited to the electronic equipment industry, automated production lines, conveyor industry, etc., it can effectively prevent mechanical damage and avoid expensive downtime losses. The friction torque limiter adopts a spring loaded friction surface, and adjusts the spring force through nuts or bolts to preset the sliding torque, which can compensate for the installation error of the two shafts.
In addition, well-known brands such as COMINTEC also offer high-quality friction torque limiters, which are renowned worldwide and have become complementary products for many equipment manufacturers
