Small torque limiter packs big
performance
The need to isolate driving and driven forces in physically small automation systems has been met by the introduction of R+W's miniature safety coupling.
The need to isolate driving and driven forces in physically small automation systems has been met by the introduction of R+W's miniature safety coupling This new addition to the SK range has an outer diameter of 21mm, an overall length of just 29mm and a torque rating of 1Nm which is infinitely adjustable down to 0.1Nm; this new model is now available in the UK from Tandler Precision

Coupling with expanding shaft connection
Introduced with machine tool builders and gear box manufacturers in mind, the latest addition to the Tandler product range is a coupling with expanding shaft connection.
The R+W patented operating principle and frictional clamp connection ensure the model is completely backlash free.
It is also torsionally stiff and has an extremely low moment of inertia.
In the event of an overload, the degressive characteristics of the disc spring allow speedy disengagement and low residual friction of the clutch; minimal wear is a further benefit.
In common with other models in the SK range, the smallest torque limiter is available in four designs.
The options are the standard, single position version and the multi-position design which automatically re-engages after 45 , 60 , 90 or 120 .
The load holding model permits minimal rotation and then maintains contact between the drive and driven faces without disconnecting the drive.
The final choice is the free-wheeling version which ensures permanent separation; this must be physically reset in the event of an overload.
Manufactured to ISO9001 the new, easy-to-install small coupling complements the full SK range which covers an adjustment range of 0.1 to 1500 Nms and shaft diameters from 4mm to 70mm. Request a free brochure from Tandler Precision ...
