Torque Limiters

Torque limiters are a type of torque-limiting safety device that offers protection against accidental mechanical overload, making them ideal for use in a wide range of high speed industrial and mechanical applications. Torque limiters help to reduce production downtime by limiting the maximum load from a drive, whilst offering torque control, high speed, reliability, easy fitting and adjustment.

Types of Torque Limiters

Torque limiters are available in a wide range of sizes and types to suit numerous applications. Common types include:

• Ball Torque Limiter
• Friction Torque Limiter
• Roller Torque Limiter
• Shear Torque Limiter
• Synchronous Magnetic Torque Limiter
