Slip Load bearing

Load-holding mechanical torque limiters, better known as slip couplings, effectively secure plants and machine parts against blockages and overloading. In operation these slip couplings – in conjunction with sprockets, V-belt pulleys and couplings – provide effective protection against extensive damage in the production process. Engine and machine will not be separated from each other in case of an overload, such as, for example, the load carried by a crane cannot fall down. Their short response time also offers advantages in comparison with electronic safety devices, e.g. cut-off signals via voltage measurement on the motor. They can also be used as component in the production process to prevent a required torque being exceeded, as desired in the case of screw closures.
