Torque Limiters
SYNTEX®
- Zero Backlash, High Accuracy Torque Overload Device
SYNTEX is a backlash free ball detent mechanical torque limiter. SYNTEX can be adjusted prior to or after installation for fine tuning of the
disengagement torque. It is available in synchronous or non-synchronous designs and can be integrated with shaft couplings, sprockets or hubs.
Precision machined from high quality materials, SYNTEX is the perfect choice for a high performance torque limiter at a reasonable price.
Features
- Torsionally stiff torque transmission
- Synchronous engagement design
- Adjustable torque at assembly
- Backlash free
- U.S. Patented design
SYNTEX® with ROTEX® GS
- Zero Backlash Torque Overload Couplings
SYNTEX precision torque limiters can be directly connected to the popular ROTEX-GS backlash-free shaft coupling. The entire assembly is compact,
light-weight, and completely backlash-free with torque adjustments possible either prior to or after installation. A high degree of torque
limiting accuracy, combined with vibration dampening, makes the SYNTEX with ROTEX-GS coupling the best choice for shaft-to-shaft connections
requiring overload protection.
Features
- Zero backlash torque transmission
- Patented disc overload design
- Low mass moments of inertia
- Adjustable torque at assembly
- Several shaft clamping designs
RUFLEX®
- Friction Disc Torque Limiter
The RUFLEX torque limiter, a type of friction disc, is coated with zinc for corrosion protection. Torque limiters can be adjusted either
prior to or after installation for fine-tuning of the breakaway torque setting. RUFLEX can be easily integrated with shaft couplings, sprockets
and hubs. Precision machined from high quality steel, RUFLEX is the superior choice for those applications requiring reliable torque limitation.
Features
- Frictionally engaged power transmission
- Standard zinc/chrome protection coating
- Transmittable torque up to 60,000 lb in
- Improved torque setting procedures
- Adjustable torque at assembly
