The invention provides a
robot joint torque limiting device, which comprises an input
circular disc, an output
circular disc, permanent magnets, a plurality of ball plungers and a plurality of ball sockets, wherein the input
circular disc is connected with a power input shaft, the output circular disc is coaxial with the input circular disc and is connected with a
power output shaft, the permanent magnets are uniformly arranged at the end surface, opposite to the output circular disc, of the input circular disc , the
magnetic poles of the permanent magnets face the output circular disc, the
magnetic poles of the adjacent permanent magnets are opposite, the ball plungers are fixedly arranged at the end surface, provided with the permanent magnets, of the input circular disc, a ball of each ball
plunger exposes out of the end surface, the number of the ball sockets is the same as the number of the ball plungers, the ball sockets are uniformly arranged at the end surface, opposite to the input circular disc, of the output circular disc, the
diameter of the ball of each ball
plunger is the same as the
diameter of the corresponding ball socket, and the ball of each ball
plunger on the input circular disc is attached to the corresponding ball socket on the output circular disc when the input circular disc and the output circular disc are attracted by the permanent magnets. The
robot joint torque limiting device has the advantages that the structure is simple, the size is small, the transfer torque is large, and the overload torque is adjustable.
