Coupling

SK1 safety coupling is designed to prevent torque overload in machines, using a backlash-free ball detent system that detects overload and detaches in 1 to 3 msec. Single-position, multi-position, load-holding, and free-wheeling versions are available for applications in sprocket wheels, sheaves, and timing pulleys. Coupling offers shaft mounting and a torque range of 0.1 to 1,500 Nm.
