R+W's Servo Torque Limiter
  • *precise overload protection

  • *actuation ring moves to trigger external sensor

  • *low residual friction after disengagement

  • *disengagement within msecs

  • *low moment of inertia


Mechanical torque limiters have been employed for many years as a simple and reliable means of torque overload protection in case of machine jams and crashes. The actuation ring moves to trigger the external sensor. With a compact, simple design, they are absolutely backlash-free and torsionally rigid, providing sound insurance against costly machine down time resulting from broken tooling, components, etc.
