TORQ/GARD

Product catalog summary

Overview of Torq/Gard Overload Clutches
IMC's Torq/Gard overload clutches are designed to protect machinery drive trains from damage due to excessive torque from overloads and jamming. They offer instant reaction when torque exceeds preset limits, providing superior protection compared to friction surface clutches.

Key Features

Modular Design: Suitable for direct drive, chain drive, or other power transmission options.
Universal Mounting: Eliminates the need for special bore requirements.
Single Position, Automatic Reset: Ensures ease of use and reliability.
Reversible and Torque Repeatability: Enhances versatility and consistent performance.
Sealed for Life: Gasket and O-ring sealed body with moisture-resistant grease for outdoor and wash-down applications.
Flat Wire Helical Spring: Maintains torque limit within narrow tolerance.
Hex-Socket Head Torque Control: Allows quick and easy adjustment of torque limit.
Forged Steel Hub and Precision Needle Bearings: Ensures durability and wear-free service.

Specifications and Sizing
Torq/Gard clutches are available in seven sizes with trip torque capacities ranging from 13 in-lbs to 8000 in-lbs. Sizing can be determined using Speed-Horsepower and Speed-Torque charts along with specific formulas:

Torque (in-lb): Horsepower (hp) x 63025 / RPM
Horsepower (hp): Torque (in-lbs) x RPM / 63025
Tripping Torque (in-lbs): Operating Torque x Service Factor

Application Considerations

The Torq/Gard should be used on the low-speed side of a speed reducer.
It can be mounted directly on the speed reducer output shaft or on the driven machine using a chain drive.
It should not be used on the high-speed side of a reducer due to sensitivity issues related to the reducer's gear ratio.
Ensure not to exceed the maximum RPM as specified in the selection tables.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for each model (TG3, TG6, TG20, TG60, TG200, TG400, TG800) are provided, with specifications for various parameters such as bore diameter, weight, and inertia.
