With their increasing complexity and necessary availability, our customers machines and plants are representing a substantial asset. Mönninghoff torque limiters can sustain this value by preventing machine damage and reducing downtimes which would occur in the event of a crash.
The selection of the suitable torque limiter always depends on the specific application as well as on torque, speed, moment of inertia, unbalance and other criteria. The design engineers at the Maschinenfabrik Mönninghoff will be pleased to adapt this important element for you up to a fully automatable, electromechanical solution.
Multipe-disc torque limiters
Multi-plate torque limiter, on the other hand, offer high torques in a small installation space and can be used both in dry and oil running, whereby a special friction lining ensures low wear. The transmittable torque can usually be infinitely adjusted in the range of 80 to 110% of the nominal torque. The set torque is maintained even in case of overload.
Torque limiters
Our SecMatic torque limiters are maintenance-free torque limiting clutches with a diaphragm spring as central element. They offer a form-fit torque transmission with minimum reaction time. The switching process is extremely precise under both static and dynamic loads. The overload torque can be reproduced very well due to a special coating of the teeth.
Tooth clutch as torque limiter
Electromagnetic clutches are can also be used as overload clutches. Compared to adjusted, mechanical clutches, they offer the advantage that the torque can be flexibly adjusted by regulating the voltage and current supply. Since movements in the limit range are also excluded, the overload clutch operates wear-free. The uncompromising safety and reliability, the simple control via direct current as well as the optimized magnetic flux guidance make the electromagnetic overload clutch an integrated, easy-to-install system solution even for extraordinary loads such as extreme temperature.
