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.
