Air Engaged Torque Limiters

Through our relationship with Nexen we are able to provide a range of torque limiters/ overload protection devices.

Air engaged torque limiters are designed to instantly disengage when a machine overload occurs. The trip-torque is easily set, remotely, with an air regulator. The single-position, ball and detent interface assures re-engagement in the same position providing exact timing of two machine components. A proximity sensor detects the overload condition and sends a signal to the air control valve to blocking the air supply to the torque limiter for a quick disconnect. Full torque and half-torque units provide a torque range of 50-12,000 in-lbs.
