Load holdingLoad-holding safety clutches are slipping clutches or slipping hubs. When the set torque is reached, the clutches slip, but hold the load with the set torque. These safety clutches are frictionally engaged.

Load separatingWith these load-separating torque limiters, torque is transmitted positively via balls that are pressed into recesses by means of a set spring force. If the torque is exceeded, these locking elements move out of their recesses against the spring force and thus ensure that the torque is interrupted.

Slipping clutchThis type of safety clutch works frictionally with friction linings and adjustment via disk springs or alternatively pneumatically.

Frequent slip cyclesSpecial continuous slipping clutches are designed for frequent slipping cycles or web tension control.

Adjustable torqueThe desired torque (slipping torque, overload torque) can be freely selected and set by the user.

Preset torqueThe desired torque is precisely preset at the factory and is fixed, i.e. it cannot be varied later in the application

Detent clutch/overload clutchThis type of safety clutch works positively via balls that are pressed into counterbores by means of spring force.

Degressive spring characteristicWith this spring characteristic, there is an immediate drop in torque (negative, falling characteristic curve) for the load-separating safety clutches.

Angular synchronous re-engagingAfter removing the overload, the safety clutch re-engages after exactly 360° of the original disengagement position.

Latching throughThe disengaging safety clutches disengage and re-engage at any point on the circumference (e.g. with a 15° pitch). It is automatically ready for operation again immediately after the fault has been rectified.

UnlockingIn the event of an overload, the input and output sides of the disengaging safety clutches are completely and permanently disconnected. These disengaging versions are ideal for high-speed applications.

Switching functionWith this version, the compressed air actuation can be used for engaging/disengaging or for varying the torque during operation.

Mechanical adjustmentTorque setting via adjusting nut and applying a defined preload to the disk springs

Pneumatic adjustmentTorque is set pneumatically using compressed air

Compact installation spacesAxially very limited installation conditions require safety clutches with extremely compact dimensions

Direct drive (shaft-shaft connection)With these safety couplings, the direct shaft-to-shaft connection is made via a combined compensating coupling. There is a choice of flexible, vibration-damping couplings or torsionally rigid, torsionally stiff couplings.

Indirect driveSafety clutches for indirect drives have a transmission element such as a pulley, chain or gear wheel that is already integrated or individually provided by the user.

No play

Additional compensation for shaft misalignmentsSafety couplings as a unit combined with flexible or torsionally rigid compensating couplings also enable the compensation of shaft misalignments.

High speeds

Heavy-duty applicationsHigh torque ranges can be found in forming systems, in mixers and agitators and much more. This category contains safety clutches with a torque transmission of 1kNm and more.

Special ambient conditionsSome areas of application require safety couplings with increased corrosion resistance (chemical industry, process engineering, etc.) or, due to hygiene regulations, safety couplings made entirely of stainless steel (food industry, medical and pharmaceutical sector). Safety couplings with a high-quality Niploy surface coating or made entirely of stainless steel offer the solution for these areas of application.

Progressive spring characteristicWith this spring characteristic, there is a brief increase in torque during the disengagement process (positive, rising characteristic curve) in the load-separating safety clutches between engagement and disengagement.
