Torque Limiter

A torque limiter helps reduce the risk of mechanical overload for critical drive components. Mechanical overload is when a rotating component experiences torques beyond what the system is designed for and fails. Torque limiters ensure that torque-based forces never exceed a set point. [15]

Some industries use torque limiters to protect their machinery. Those industries include: 

1. General Machining and Manufacturing

2. Packaging and Assembly Services

3. Printing and Converting Industries

4. Textile Manufacturing

5. Forest Products 

Specific applications include:

1. Conveyors

2. Gearboxes

3. Generators

4. Motors
