FRICTION TORQUE LIMITER

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DF Friction Torque Limiter is designed to manage up to 23,000 Nm of torque with a maximum bore of 140 mm. It is ideal for dusty environments, providing silent overload protection without vibration in both rotational directions. The device features asbestos-free friction discs and allows precise torque settings via an adjustable locking ring. An innovative calibration system using the 'H dimension' enables immediate calibration.
Specifications
The DF model comes in various configurations, including DF/SI with overload signaling and automatic re-engagement, DF/TAC for in-line shaft connections, and models with elastic couplings for high misalignments. Torque ranges from 1 to 23,000 Nm, with bore sizes up to 160 mm.
Main Applications
Applications include forming machines, conveyors, automotive, agricultural, and woodworking machines. Different friction ring types are available: STD for standard performance, LD for long life, and LDX for extra-long life with reduced torque performance.
Advantages and Benefits
The torque limiter protects motor-gearbox systems during accidental collisions, absorbs static torques without disengaging, and safeguards gears during short product jams.
Technical Data
Technical data is provided for various models, including torque ranges, inertia, maximum speed, and weight. Dimensions and technical details for different configurations, such as the DF/SI and DF/TAC models, are included.
Additional Information
Optional features include rust-resistant versions, models with radial rings, and kits for double registration torque adjustment. Guidelines for selecting and assembling driving parts like plate wheels and pulleys are provided to ensure optimal performance.
Friction Torque Limiter Overview
The document emphasizes the importance of stopping the drive promptly after the first slip to extend the lifespan of friction rings and maintain performance. This can be achieved using a model DF/SI with a micro-switch (EM1 or EM2) or an inductive sensor (PRX).
Order Example
An example is provided for ordering a friction torque clutch, specifying size, model, version, finished bore, and torque/spring details.
Coupling and Elements
Various coupling models and elements are described, including the GAS jaw coupling and GEC compact elastic coupling, with specifications for size and finished bore.
Versions and Features
Different versions of the DF friction torque limiter are outlined, such as the base version, .../ML with a long hub, .../SI with intervention signal, .../CM with helical springs, and .../TAC with chain coupling.
Sensor Connection Example
An example of sensor connection is provided, highlighting the use of inductive sensors connected to a tachometer or frequency inverter to detect speed changes in a metallic mass connected to the transmission organ.
Additional Information
The document includes a reference to a hub connection type list on page 4 and mentions various spring types (T0, T1, T2, T3) relevant to the limiter's operation.

FRICTION TORQUE LIMITER-9

DF - fric on torque limiter: addi onal informa on SENSOR CONNECTION EXAMPLE To maximize the life me of the fric on rings and maintain the performance of the limiter, you should promptly stop the drive as soon as the first slip occurs. This is possible using the model DF / SI combined with a micro-switch (model EM1 or EM2) or an induc ve sensor (model PRX), see page 73. If this is not possible, however, we suggest the use of an induc ve sensor connected to a tachometer or frequency inverter in order to reveal the possible speed change of a metallic mass connected to the organ of transmission, as...
