Overload Clutch and Torque Limiter FAQs:
Q: Why use a Torque Limiter (Torq/Gard and Centric)?
A: Centric Overload Clutches and Torq/Gard Clutches provide machine protection and reduced repair time during jamming load conditions. Mechanical or Pneumatic torque limiters provide consistent torque levels after many overloads. Unlike friction style or shear pin type torque limiters, Centric Clutches and Torq/Gard Clutches can provide an accurate method of resetting the torque with no operator intervention. A single position clutch will reengage in the exact rotational position each time. This is often necessary for system timing in bottling, packaging, and paper converting type applications. Read More
