Belleville Spring Torque Limiters RT

Belleville Spring Torque Limiters RT

Belleville springs produce the contact force on the friction linings. Because of the Belleville spring torque limiters’ steep characteristic of the contact force the spring preload needs to be readjusted when the friction linings become worn. Belleville spring Torque Limiters are therefore preferred in applications where slipping periods are short and infrequent.

Advantages

• Cost-effective, simple Torque ­Limiter
• Adjustment option for pad wear
• 12 Sizes for slipping torques from 0,5 Nm to 10 000 Nm

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.
