ROTARY MOTION CONTROL

Technical Data Sheet

Mechanical Torque Limiter

The trend in industry is to design and incorporate more
automation into production processes. Machines are becoming
more accurate, requiring a higher degree of precision. They are
becoming faster, using servo and DC drive technology, and
they are more rigid to withstand the dynamic loads necessary
to increase capacity and productivity.

Torque overloads caused by material jams, operator error, or

a whole host of unforeseen reasons pose a significant threat
to machine downtime.

Machine downtime in an automated production environment is

very costly. Broken components, costly technicians, and long
lead times for custom components can make the difference
between operating profitably or not.

The use of a patented torque limiter will isolate the driving

from the driven elements within a matter of milliseconds, once
the torque reaches a preset overload value.

Features
• Precise overload protection

• Absolutely backlash-free and torsionally rigid

• Compact, simple design

• Disengagement detection is achieved through

indexing ring movement

• Low residual friction following disengagement

• Low moment of inertia

• Disengagement within milliseconds

• Double bearing support of pulley/sprocket

Overview

The Nexen Advantage

The trend in industry is to design and in-
corporate more automation into produc- Features
tion processes. Machines are becoming • Adjustment range engraved on the
more accurate, requiring a higher degree outer diameter
of precision.
• Actual values marked rather than
percentages
Machine downtime in an automated pro-
duction environment is very costly. Bro- • Adjustable without removal from the
ken components, expensive technicians, application
and long lead times for custom compo- • Patented preload for zero backlash
nents.
• Small, guided actuation ring for fast
reaction
The use of a Nexen Mechanical Torque
Limiter isolates the driving from the • Double bearing support fo pulley /
driven elements within a matter of sprocket
milliseconds.
• Large bores possible

This can be the difference between op-

erating profitably or not.

Areas of Application
• Machine Tools

• CNC Machining Centers

• Woodworking Machines
• Automation Equipment

• Textile Industry

• Industrial Robots

• Sheet Metal Processing Machines

• Servo + DC Motor Drives

Overview

Single-Position Re-engagement
Standard Version

• After the overload has been removed, the coupling will re-engage
precisely 360° from the original disengaged position.

• Overload signal with a mechanical switch or a proximity sensor.

• Suitable for use in machine tools, packing machines and automation

systems and other applications requiring precise timing.

Multi-Position Re-engagement
• Coupling re-engages at multiple set angular intervals.

• Immediate availability of the machine as soon as the overload has been

removed.

• Overload signal with a mechanical switch or a proximity sensor.

• Standard engagement every 60º.

• Engagement after 30, 45, 90 and 120º optional.

Full Disengagement
• Permanent separation of drive and driven face in the event of a torque
overload.

• Overload signal with a mechanical switch or a proximity sensor.

• No residual friction.

• Coupling can be re-engaged manually (Engagement every 60º with

other engagement options available including single position.)

• For use in high dynamic applications.

Notes: H1 Coupling Engaged

H2 Coupling Disengaged
To determine the total effective length of the coupling, add dimensions G to H1 or H2.

Coupling adapters are designed to fit a variety of inch-sized bore, zero backlash, torsionally stiff high misalignment couplings.

Product Selection Based on Torque Requirements
As a rule, torque limiters are selected according to the required disengagement torque. This rating must be greater than
the torque necessary for normal machine operation. The necessary disengagement torque is determined in accordance
with the drive specifications. The following calculations have proven themselves as “rule of thumb” solutions.

Disengagement Torque
TKN = Rated Torque of the Torque Limiter (Nm)
TAS = Peak Torque of Motor (Nm)
or
TKN = Rated Torque of the Torque Limiter (Nm)
PAN = Drive Power (kw)
N = Speed of Drive (RPM)

Start-up Torque Without a Load

TKN = Rated Torque of the Torque Limiter (Nm)
= Angular Acceleration

SA = Load Factor t = Acceleration Time (s)

SA = 1 (Uniform Load) = Angular Speed In (s-1)

SA = 2 (Non-Uniform Load) n = Speed of Drive (RPM)
SA = 3 (Jerky Load) J L = Moment of Inertia on Load Side (kgm2)
JA = Moment of Inertia on Drive Side (kgm2)
Values for SA = 2 - 3 are usual for servo drives on
TAS = Peak Torque of Motor (Nm)

Machine Tool - Feed Force Torque

Spindle Drive
TAN = Load Torque (Nm)
