Torque Limiter TL Selection

When using Torque Limiter in personnel transport equipment or lifting equipment, take measures on the equipment side to prevent accidents involving personnel or falls.

  • (1) Based on the strength of the machine, load, and other conditions, determine the torque that should not be applied above this level and set this as the slip torque of Torque Limiter.
    If this torque is unclear, calculate it from the rated output of the prime mover and the rotational speed of the shaft on which Torque Limiter is attached, and use 1.5 to 2 times this as the slip torque of Torque Limiter.
  • (2) When determining the size of Torque Limiter, make sure that the slip torque falls within the range of Torque Limiter 's rated torque.
  • (3) Check the dimensions table to make sure that the maximum shaft hole diameter of Torque Limiter you have decided on is larger than the mounting shaft diameter. If the mounting shaft diameter is larger, use Torque Limiter that is one size larger.
  • (4) Determine the appropriate length of bushing (listed in the dimension table) based on the thickness of the center member to be clamped in Torque Limiter. Refer to the bushing lengths listed in the dimension table and select the longest bushing possible, either one or a combination of multiple bushings, that does not exceed the thickness of the center member.
