Ratcheting SIKUMAT® SC RINGSPANN

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the Ratcheting SIKUMAT® SC with screw faces, a torque limiter designed for robust and maintenance-free operation.
Advantages: The SIKUMAT® SC offers excellent durability due to surface contact during disengagement, is fully enclosed with an integral bearing, and allows torque adjustment through the number of active springs rather than spring pressure modification.
Screw Face Principle: Torque is transmitted via screw-shaped radial serrations pressed together by spring force, maintaining surface contact even during disengagement, enhancing wear resistance and longevity.
Functionality: The SIKUMAT® ratchets upon reaching preset torque limits and re-engages automatically post-overload. Overload detection is facilitated by a proximity switch, which can trigger drive shutdown or other control functions.
Types and Installation: The SIKUMAT® SC is available in various series (SC, SCE, SCL) for different coupling needs, such as flange connection, flexible shaft coupling, and torsionally rigid shaft coupling. Installation requires customer-provided bearing support for attached components.
Torque Setting: Factory-set limit torque can be adjusted by the customer, but unauthorized modifications by operators are discouraged. Detailed instructions are provided in the operating manual.
Proximity Switch: The proximity switch indicates overload via an inductive method and is supplied with a support bracket. It operates at 24 V DC, with a maximum switching current of 200 mA, and is protected to IP 67 standards.
Technical Data and Ordering: Detailed dimensions, torque limits, and ordering information are provided for each series, with specifications for bore sizes, engagement travel, and proximity switch integration.

Ratcheting SIKUMAT® SC RINGSPANN-1

Ratcheting SIKUMAT® SC … with screw faces Advantages • Excellent robustness through surface contact during the disengaging process – therefore maximum life • Fully enclosed with integral bearing – therefore maintenance-free • Adjustment of limit torque setting according to the number of active springs – not through modification of spring pressure The Screw Face Principle Torque transmission is effected through screwshaped radial serrations in the input and output part, which are pressed together by spring force. Like the thread sides of a screw have edge contact with the nut during turning, so the toothed flanks of the SIKUMAT® retain their surface contact even during the torque disengaging process. This characteristic gives the SIKUMAT® an extremely high resistance against wear and therefore a long operating life. Function • When the preset limit torque has been reached the SIKUMAT® ratchets. • After elimination of the overload the SIKUMAT® re-engages automatically. • The overload can be indicated by the special proximity switch for the ratcheting SIKUMAT® with screw faces, thus either causing the drive to be switched off instantly or another control function to be activated. Face gear The toothed flanks maintain surface contact only when engaged. Screw face The toothed flanks maintain surface contact even during the disengaging.

Proximity switch for Ratcheting SIKUMAT® with screw faces Proximity switch with plug connection Attaching plug, 90º, incl. 2 m PVC cable Technical Data The proximity switch’s response to an overload is to react on the switching disc located internally. During normal operation the proximity switch is closed, the yellow LED is illuminated. The switching disc moves as the preset limit torque is reached. The proximity switch opens and the yellow LED goes out. A speed-dependent switching sequence is triggered at the output end of the limit sensor. Operating voltage: Max. switching current: Internal...
