AUTOGARD TORQUE LIMITER SERIES 320

AUTOGARD SERIES 320 TORQUE LIMITER Quality and Autogard are synonymous with overload protection. The company’ s reputation for high quality products is derived from over 35 years of design innovation and production. Autogard products are manufactured to meet ISO 9001 using the latest machine tools and high quality materials. The Series 320 Torque Limiter Clutch has been designed to meet the emerging need for an economical, compact and reliable safety clutch. The optimised design provides a robust, backlash free clutch which will protect equipment from the damaging effects caused by overloading a drive train. In the event of an overload, the drive balls are designed to roll out of their respective seats producing an axial movement in the cover plate. A proximity sensor or limit switch can be used to detect this movement, sending a signal to master control or a PLC. Re-engagement is automatic once the overload is removed. The Series 320 can be provided in a timed ( synchronised) or un-timed ( rapid reset) versions. The Autogard Series 320 is designed to meet the most exacting needs of modern machinery. Features and Benefits • Accurate torque limitation prevents costly downtime caused by overloads. • The compact Design reduces weight and inertia on the equipment. • The standard design can accommodate larger torque ranges than many other models currently available. • Series 320 is offered in a larger number of styles ensuring the right solution is available for all applications. • Backlash free operation. • Automatic re-engagement. • One revolution synchronous re-engagement. • Springs can be inspected and changed without removing the clutch from the drive train. • Coil springs allow one standard design to accommodate the full torque range as opposed to regressive disc springs which can only accommodate a narrow torque band.
