Polychem Torque Limiter

The Polychem Torque Limiter is an easy-to-reset alternative to traditional shear pin devices. It provides reliable overtorque protection by transmitting torque through balls retained in detents against adjustable spring pressure. When torque exceeds a preset value, the balls leave their seats and roll free to completely disengagem the driving and driven components, preventing costly drive system crashes.

A Polychem torque limiter features a round, metallic body mounted on a black cogwheel-shaped base. The device has a cylindrical attachment on top with bolts and a label containing brand information.
