Mayr's EAS-XT torque limiting clutch was developed to meet the
requirements of single and twin screw extruder drives, where conventional
components suffer accelerated internal wear and loss of disengaging
accuracy. Features include backlash-free torque transmission and complete
drive disengagement on overload.
The limiter can be re-engaged without drive reversal and disengaging
accuracy is consistently maintained to with +/-5% of set torque. The
device has low inertia, thanks to its compact construction, and large
bearings ensure long, maintenance-free life. Four sizes are offered,
covering torque values up to 7,500Nm, and and optional flexible shaft
coupling is provided for motor/extruder gearbox arrangements.
