Friction type torque limiter with sprocket is an important mechanical transmission component, mainly used to limit the torque transmitted by the transmission system through slipping when the required torque exceeds the set value due to overload or mechanical failure, thereby preventing mechanical damage and avoiding expensive shutdown losses. This type of limiter is particularly suitable for applications that require protection of transmission systems, such as the electronic equipment industry, automated production lines, conveyor industry, etc.
The working principle of a friction torque limiter is based on the frictional force between the friction plate and the transmission components (such as sprockets, pulleys, gears, flanges, etc.) to transmit torque. During normal operation, the friction plate rotates together with the transmission components, relying on the static friction force between the friction plate and the components to transmit torque. When a large overload or impact load occurs and the transmitted torque exceeds the set slip torque, the friction plate and transmission components slide relative to each other, and there is still torque transmission between the main and driven components. At this time, torque is transmitted through the dynamic friction force between the friction plate and the transmission components. After the overload is eliminated, the friction plate rotates together with the transmission components.
The characteristics of this limiter include:
The structure is simple, and the transferable torque can be increased by increasing the contact area between the friction plate and the transmission components, as well as the clamping force of the friction plate.
Low cost, because friction is easily affected by the coefficient of friction between materials, so the cost is relatively low.
High torque, able to withstand large torque loads.
The accuracy is not high because the design of the friction type torque limiter is not intended to provide high-precision torque control.
In addition, friction type torque limiters with sprockets can also be used as safety clutches, especially in applications that require overload protection and chip conveyors. This type of limiter adopts a spring loaded friction surface, and its sliding torque is pre-set by adjusting the spring force through a nut or bolt. It is suitable for explosion-proof occasions and has good wear resistance and long service life. The middle sliding sleeve does not require lubrication, unlike scissor type machinery, it can be reused.
In summary, the friction torque limiter with sprocket 500 torque overload protector, chip conveyor, and safety clutch product is an economical and practical mechanical protection device suitable for various industrial applications, especially playing an important role in protecting the transmission system from overload damage
