Torque limiters for heavy-duty machinery

The modular design covers release torques from 200 to 9000Nm with the capacity to operate at high speeds up to 3000 r/min. On overload the DSM torque limiters give free release suiting installation between motor and gearbox on machinery such as extruders, mills, shredders and crushers.

DSM torque limiters are modular using 3 to 9 spring-loaded cartridges that press a steel ball into a hardened seat.  Under normal conditions the connection is backlash-free.  On overload the balls ride out of the seat, pushing back the springs to a detent position where there is no longer any drive torque between input and output.

In the UK sales and technical support for the DSM torque limiters is available from Techdrives.
