Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides technical details about the LCS torque limiters manufactured by Sonzogni Camme Spa, designed for series S and T indexing units. These devices are crucial for protecting mechanical components from damage due to torque overloads.

Specifications
The LCS torque limiters utilize highly-flexible chrome-vanadium-steel helical springs for precise torque settings. They ensure quick and secure torque release, even after prolonged installation. The disengagement occurs through axial movement of a movable plate, which can trigger a motor shutdown via a contact or proximity microswitch.

Functionality
Upon disengagement, the residual torque is typically less than 15% of the set limit. The LCS is not designed for accident prevention but to protect mechanical components between the drive motor and the LCS unit from sudden loads or prolonged overloads. It operates on needle bearings and transmits torque through hardened roller bearings, maintaining low stress levels.

Operational Features
The LCS can function in both rotational directions. After resolving the overload cause, it can be reset by rotating the driven component until it re-engages. The Technical Department offers assistance in selecting the appropriate LCS type for specific applications.

Conclusion
The LCS torque limiter is a mechanical unit that interrupts torque transmission when the required torque exceeds the set limit, ensuring the protection of mechanical systems.

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...
