All Torque Transmissions is the distributor for ComInTec in Australia. We have had a long relationship with the Italian torque limiter manufacturer, and one of the most popular types is the ‘DF’ friction limiter.
Friction Torque Limiters “DF”
Comintec torque limiters are overload protection devices with a sprocket mounted between two friction discs that slide without disengaging when it reaches the pre-set peak torque. The torque is adjustable by altering the spring pressure.
Features of Torque Limiters
- Simple and economic friction torque limiter
- Suitable for dusty conditions without need of timing between gearbox and output
- Silent overload without vibration
- Protection in both rotation directions
- Asbestos-free friction discs
- Simple and precise torque setting by adjusting the locking ring
- The innovative setting of the nominal torque by measuring the “H” dimension allows for immediate coupling calibration
