How It Works

Brunel’s Torque Limiting—Safety Element Modules have been specifically designed to provide overload protection for applications where very high torque’s are transmitted. The multiple springs control torque setting is accurate within ±5% and is maintained indefinitely. Ease of maintenance is assured by eliminating the need for continuous adjustment and improves operator safety with the enclosed springs design. This all metal totally enclosed construction allows for longer life in a contaminated environment. Brunel’s Safety Element Modules will increased the dependability of the your drive application and there is a larger range of torque settings available to meet your specific application needs.

The modular system provides facilities for virtually unlimited torque capacity and lends itself to many transmission applications – chain, belt and gear drives, or shaft-to-shaft gear or flexible coupling drives. The maximum release torque depends on the number and size of  Safety Element Modules that can be incorporated, and the size of the unit that can be accommodated within the confines of the installation. Internally & externally adjusted safety element modules provide repeatability better than ±5%. Modular design simplifies maintenance. The user can replace Safety Elements Module—the working components—without removing the clutch from the shaft. The clutch can be removed—dropped out—without moving the motor back.
