Safety couplings

The torque limiters (safety couplings) of our partner ComInTec are mechanical components necessary to fit along the kinematic chain and are preferred to electronic safety devices because of a better response time, improved reliability, excellent configuration flexibility, easy fitting and adjustment, use at high speeds in hard environments in the presence of inertias and important masses.

In fact the electronic systems, which normally act up to the transmission, present: delayed reaction time, many factors as a source of error, configuration and management complexity.

The fitting of the mechanical torque limiters along the kinematic chain is therefore necessary for a reliable and complete protection, in order to improve the level of safety and the machine, according to the new EN ISO 13489-1 standards, reducing the average possible broken-down and unproductive downtime.

Advantages

• Long service life and consistent reliability
• Optimum protection against external influences
• Easy mounting in coaxial or parallel transmissions
• Easy torque adjustment
• Extremely precise response accuracy
• Versatile adaptability to customer-specific requirements
  

The robust safety couplings from our partner Malmedie are designed in particular for heavy-duty applications, for example in rolling mills or metallurgical plants, mining or the chemical industry.

These couplings are characterised by high disengagement repeatability and fast re-engagement. In this way, drive parts of plants can be effectively protected from damage due to overload on the one hand and production downtimes can be significantly reduced on the other.
