No backlash for servo torque limiters
Autogard has a range of backlash-free torque limiters and couplings designed specifically for the servo market.
ATEX approval for coupling ranges
Autogard has received approval under ATEX Directive 94/9/EC for its Autoflex and Samiflex ranges of couplings for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The innovative design also allows the torque band to be changed by changing the coil springs and the coil springs to be changed or inspected without removing the unit from the shaft.
Other benefits of the design include fine adjustment and guaranteed repeatability over an extended operating life.
The Type 320 has been designed to offer exceptional value for money for applications from 5 Nm to 1,500 Nm and shaft diameters up to 65 mm.
Cone clamp shaft mountings and backlash-free construction make it ideal for servo and other power transmission applications.
Its compact dimensions also reduce weight and inertia on the drivetrain.
Versions are available to suit most drive media, including V belt pulleys, sprockets and timing belt pulleys, and can be supplied with SamiFlex (elastic) or Autoflex (metal membrane) flexible couplings.
Type 320 torque limiters are suitable for a wide range of power transmission applications including printing, packaging, plastic moulding and processing machinery, materials handling equipment, etc.
Autogard is the UK's leading manufacturer of torque limiters with more than 35 years experience.
The company's reputation ensures that the Type 320's offers an unrivalled combination of quality and value-for-money.
Other products in the company's range include the 400 series (high speed, free wheeling), 600 series (pneumatic, high duty) and 800 series (high torque module).
