To prevent costly machine and drive damage on high-production transfer lines, direct-drive and indirect torque-limiting safety couplings disengage highly dynamic drives within 2 to 4 msec of the overload signal, then automatically re-engage at the precise angular position.
A pre-stressed Bellville spring generates fast switching times, and protects equipment from even ultra-short speed surges. Internal precision roll or ball guides guarantee backlash-free torque transmission in both rotational directions and under high accelerations.
