RIMOSTAT®-Torque Limiters RS …

The contact pressure on the friction surfaces is produced by long coil springs. Because of the RIMOSTAT® Torque Limiter’s linear, flat-angle characteristic of the pressure force, practically no reduction of the slipping torque occurs even when friction linings are subjected to wear. As the diagram 64-3 shows, compared
with Belleville spring torque limiters, assuming friction wear of Δf the reduction of the slipping torque ΔM is negligible.

Advantages

Particularly suitable in applications with frequent slipping
Better stability of slipping torque than Belleville spring torque limiters over the duration of the operating period
Adjustment of slipping torque setting according to the number of active springs – not through modification of spring pressure

Function

When the preset slipping torque has been reached the built-in component (e. g. chain wheel) slips.
During the slipping process, input and output rotate relative to each other and the preset slipping torque continues to be transmitted.
Inherent in the slipping process is high energy consumption.
Re-engagement is not necessary.
