Overload Safety Couplings

Torq-Tender™ overload safety couplings are available in special models designed for washdown applications. They clean up easily, won't corrode and operate in a wide temperature range. Providing torque limiting and coupling functions in a single, compact unit, these couplings serve both as a safety device and as a coupling in a power transmission system. They protect motor and drive systems from jam-ups and excessive overloading. Washdown models have a special seal and modified housing that resists water intrusion and outside contamination. They use a food-grade lubricant, making them ideal for food processing and packaging systems. Available in torque ranges from 2 to 3,000 in-lbs., they provide tamper-proof preset torque settings.
