The trend in industry is to design and incorporate more automation into production processes. Machines are becoming more accurate, requiring a higher degree of precision. They are becoming faster, using servo and DC drive technology and they are more rigid to withstand the dynamic loads necessary to increase capacity and productivity. Torque overloads caused by material jams, operator error or a whole host of unforeseen reasons pose a significant threat to machine downtime. Machine downtime in an automated production environment is very costly. Broken components, costly technicians and long lead times for custom components can make the difference between operating profitably or not. The use of a patented torque limiter will isolate the driving from the driven elements within a matter of milliseconds, once the torque reaches a preset overload value.
