Safety Couplings

Description

Safety couplings with torque limiter are critical components for protecting mechanical systems against overloads, collisions, or unexpected blockages. Designed to immediately disengage torque transmission when a preset limit is exceeded, these couplings help prevent damage to machinery and minimise downtime.

Key Technical Features

• Backlash-free instant disengagement: the ball-and-spring system enables fast, precise decoupling in overload situations.
• Adjustable disengagement torque: can be configured to suit specific application needs.
• 360° automatic re-engagement: the coupling resets itself automatically once normal conditions return.
• Misalignment compensation: absorbs axial, radial and angular misalignments.
• Maintenance-free design: robust construction ensures long service life without the need for routine adjustments.

Common Applications

These couplings are ideal for sectors where safety and precision are critical:

• Industrial automation and robotics
• Packaging and processing machinery
• Conveyors and material handling systems
• CNC machines and tooling
• Food and pharmaceutical industries

Integration with Other Coupling Types

To meet various application demands, safety couplings can be combined with different coupling technologies:

• Rigid Couplings: offer a solid, zero-play shaft connection with no vibration absorption.
• Torque Limiter Couplings: include built-in overload protection mechanisms.
• Bellows Couplings: ideal for dynamic applications such as servomotors, ball screws, and industrial robots thanks to their high precision and alignment compensation.

Competitive Advantages

• Accurate, backlash-free torque transmission
• Effective protection against overloads
• Adaptable to various shaft configurations
• Reduced maintenance and repair costs
• Enhanced operational safety and machinery lifespan
