LCS torque limiters The LCS torque limiter is a completely mechanical unit designed to inter­ upt the r transmission of torque when the amount of torque required ex­ eeds the limiting c torque value for which the LCS is set. The LCS is not intended to be used for acci­ ent pred vention, but is designed to safeguard the mechanical machine components, located between the drive motor and the LCS unit, against any possible damage that could occur when loads are suddenly applied or when overloading conditions exist for extended pe­ riods of time. All the moving parts of the LCS limiter ride on needle...
