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.
