Synchronous Disengaging SIKUMAT with double rollers

The Double Roller Principle

The torque is transmitted via six pairs of rollers which are pressed by coil springs into detents.When the preset limit torque has been reached, the rollers move against the spring force up the sloping surface and disengage. 
This characteristic combined with the particular geometry of the detents provide a high degree of consistency to the limit torque of the SIKUMAT over the duration of the operating period. Re-engagement is effected synchronously after 360º due to the asymmetrical division of the detents.

Advantages 

• High degree of consistency of limit torque over the duration of operation through double roller principle 
• Switching off in case of overload - separation of input and output 
• Synchronous re-engagement after 360°
• Torques up to 10.000 Nm 
• For shaft diameters up to 125 mm 
• Protection against unauthorised adjustment of the limit torque

Function 

• When the preset limit torque has been reached the SIKUMAT effects a separation of input and output by means of a locking mechanism with integral bearings. 
• Following elimination of the overload manual synchronous re-engagement of the SIKUMAT to the starting position after 360°. 
• This requires an axial switching force to be applied to the switching ring.

Notes

Torque setting The limit torque is normally set at the factory.Setting or modification of the limit torque can also be carried out by the customer but no unauthorised adjustment can be carried out by the machine operator. See operating instructions for further details.

Proximity switch The overload can be indicated by a non-contact or a mechanical proximity switch.

Speed Control ESC The RINGSPANN speed control ESC (Electronic Speed Control) monitors speed deviations and speed differences safely and also under difficult operating conditions. see ESC
