AI Technical Summary
Traditional friction torque limiters have short friction plate lifespans that require frequent replacement, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity for workers.
The design incorporates steel balls and a limiting device. When the torque limiter is overloaded, the steel balls move and push the pressure plate assembly to disengage from the connecting gear plate assembly. The limiting device then enters the disengagement limiting groove to prevent automatic reset and achieve overload protection.
This extends the service life of the torque limiter, reduces the frequency of replacing vulnerable parts, lowers the workload of workers, and improves production efficiency.
