What is a torque limiter

 What is a torque limiter
      Torque limiter (also called torque limiter, *coupling, *clutch) is a component that connects the active machine and the working machine. The main function is overload protection. The torque limiter is caused by overload or mechanical failure. When the required torque exceeds the set value, it limits the torque transmitted by the transmission system in the form of slip, and restores the connection automatically when the overload situation disappears.This prevents mechanical damage and avoids costly downtime losses.The torque limiter adopts a spring-loaded friction surface, and the spring force is adjusted with a nut or bolt to preset its sliding torque.According to the working principle, it can be divided into friction type torque limiter and steel ball type torque limiter (ball type torque limiter). Application scope: electronic equipment industry, automated production line, conveyor industry, etc.
