Excessive torque peaks in mechanical drive trains can damage or even destroy downstream components. This can be prevented with torque limiters / overload clutches / safety couplings. Different operating principles with different levels of accuracy are available. Generally, a backlash-free combination of an overload system and coupling is used in machine tools and machining systems.
Our application technicians would be glad to assist you with the dimensioning and selection of the right overload system.
