Torque Limiters

The more comprehensive the automation of machines and installationsa, the safer their operational functions needs to be. Blockages or overloads should never be cause for the destruction of operationally important components.  Stoppages must be kept to a minimum so that the production process continues as quickly as possible and without costly repairs. RINGSPANN torque limiters are mechanical safety devices which disconnect the output from the input when a preset limit value has been reached. Thus they protect against damage and stoppage times caused by overload.
