Designed to Operate in a Wide Variety of Environments.
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Overload Safety Devices
Zero-Max’s Torq-Tender® overload safety devices incorporate torque limiters for dependable overload protection. When a jam-up or excessive loading occurs, the built-in torque limiter will reliably and quickly release to prevent system damage.
The Torq-Tender torque limiter is tamper-proof. Once installed, the torque value cannot be changed. This feature ensures the integrity of the machine design, and renders costly and potentially risky calibration procedures unnecessary. Torque value is controlled by the part number that is ordered; that value determines what springs are used during assembly of the Torque-Tender.
BENEFITS & FEATURES
Overload Safety Device
- Torque values can be changed in the field, however; the torque limiter must be disassembled and the springs replaced to achieve the new torque value.
- Standard Torq-Tenders are bidirectional. Torque value remains the same regardless of rotation. If specified, the torque limiter can be configured at the factory to release at different torque ratings for different rotational directions.
- When used as a coupling, the Torq-Tender fulfills two functions: 1) A flexible shaft coupling; 2) a mechanical torque limiter.
- In shaft-to-shaft configurations, the torque limiter can help with angular alignment errors of up to 1.5° and parallel alignment errors from 0.005" to 0.015".
- The enclosed design of the mechanical torque limiter enables it to operate in a wide variety of industrial environments. Special designs and materials can be used to withstand even the most adverse conditions.
- Every Zero-Max torque limiter is made from durable heat-treated steel for a long operational life.
