Pneumatic Torque Limiters protect equipment by immediately disengaging the machine shaft when excessive torque or a machine jam occurs. Each unit comes with a Turck® Proximity Sensor to detect torque overloads. 

The Advantage of Air

Pneumatic actuation allows remote torque adjustment while the machine is running, eliminating continuous trips to make adjustments.

Mounting Options

Nexen’s bearing-supported pilot Pneumatic Torque Limiters accept numerous mounting configurations, including sprockets, timing belt pulleys, and HTD sprockets. 

Nexen’s single-flex or double-flex couplings match the drive flange pilot surface and bolt circles. These couplings provide high shaft misalignment protection, zero backlash, and excellent torsional rigidity. These couplings connect companion shafts inline and provide misalignment protection for the Torque Limiter drive flange bearings.

Turck Proximity Sensors

The mounting configuration of the Turck Sensor allows full gear reducer shaft insertion into the bore for inline shaft coupling installations, ensuring proper torque transmission and easy mounting. The 24VDC proximity switch is easy to set up and works with PLC controls.

Smart Controllers

Smart Valve Controllers are available that accept feedback from the engagement sensor to control air to one or multiple torque limiters. Controllers are available with optional higher, timed-out start-up torque settings. 

Totally Enclosed Models

Nexen, totally enclosed nickel-plated models, keep contaminants out of critical areas and have all the same features as the standard units. Totally Enclosed Models can be used in wash-down environments and other areas where liquids may be present.

Applications

Nexen’s Pneumatic Torque Limiters are designed for applications that require:

• Disconnecting
• Overload Protection
• Positioning
• Positive Drive
• Connect/disconnect
• Controlled acceleration
• Cycling/indexing
• Inching/jogging
• Soft Starts
