We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torque Limiter",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Modern gearbox boosts efficiency in sewage works from
Brammer UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The integral torque limiter now means that if the tank paddle jams the torque limiter will trip and will simply need resetting, providing time and cost savings for Thames Water".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Couplings increase reliability of train drives from
KTR Couplings: "KTR is entering new application ranges in train technology with a coupling design combining Rotex RU and Radex MK, each with the new Ruflex overload protection".
In December 2006, we covered the news from KTR Couplings
concerning its Torque limiters
- take a look at Torque limiters protect against explosions
which says: "KTR design engineers have transferred their know-how regarding explosion protection to the subject of torque limiters".
Take a look also at the news release from Makita UK, Cordless drill promises twice the capacity,
as well as Friction-type torque limiters introduced from Mayr Transmissions,
and Forget torque limiters: they never need service from Zero-Max.
