Safety-Couplings
MALMEDIE safety-elements have been used for more than 30 years as torque limiters in various types of coupling (e. g. gear-couplings, resilient couplings, cardan shafts etc.). They have thoroughly proven themselves under very difficult application conditions, such as in metallurgical industry and rolling mills, mining and the chemical industry.
Their function is characterised by high precision of disengagement recurrences and rapid easy reset. Thus the drive components of equipment can, on the one hand, be effectively protected from damage due to overload, and on the other hand lost production time can be significantly reduced. Unlike shear pins or shear rings, the safety-elements are not destroyed when disengagement is triggered, and can quickly be reactivated with the simplest tools, such as a hammer. If needed, two or more safety-elements can be used for form-fitted and tensionally locked connection of two coupling flanges.
The possible variation in the number and size of the safety-elements, and of the active diameter, means that the release torque can be selected almost without limit. The individual safety element cannot be overloaded if correctly chosen.
An automatic re-engagement device is available as an option.
