Overload Clutches RINGSPANN

Product catalog summary
Introduction
RINGSPANN Overload Clutches are mechanical safety devices that disconnect the output from the input when a preset limit is reached, preventing damage and minimizing stoppage times. These clutches are crucial for maintaining productivity in automated systems by protecting against overloads.
Torque Limiters
SIKUMAT® Torque Limiters are precision safety devices available in various designs to suit specific needs:
  • SIKUMAT® with screw faces: Suitable for heavy-duty conditions.
  • SIKUMAT® with double rollers: Ensures high consistency of limit torque.
  • SIKUMAT® with balls: Offers high response accuracy and backlash-free torque transmission.
  • SIKUMAT® with single rollers: Versatile for universal applications.
Friction Torque Limiters
Available in two designs:
  • RIMOSTAT® Torque Limiters: Provide high torque consistency during frequent slipping.
  • Belleville Spring Torque Limiters: Cost-effective solutions.
Force Limiters
Designed to transmit forces up to a certain size in both directions without play. They automatically re-engage after an overload is cleared and can be equipped with proximity switches for early warnings.
Overview of Overload Clutches
The document provides a detailed overview of various SIKUMAT® and RIMOSTAT® series, highlighting features such as re-engagement methods, backlash-free operation, and torque consistency.
Technical Specifications
Each series, such as SIKUMAT® SC, SCE, and SCL, is detailed with technical data including torque settings, speed ranges, and dimensions. Ordering examples and installation notes are also included.
Proximity Switches
Proximity switches indicate overloads non-contactly, featuring PNP-Transistor output, IP67 protection, and operating within a temperature range of -25° to +75°C.
Conclusion
RINGSPANN offers a comprehensive range of overload clutches and torque limiters, providing solutions for various industrial applications with a focus on safety, reliability, and efficiency.
Specifications and Procedures
The document provides technical specifications for various SIKUMAT® torque limiters, detailing models with varying torque limits, bore diameters, and dimensions. Installation procedures emphasize the importance of setting the correct limit torque and using proximity switches for overload indication.
Norms and Standards
Keyway dimensions are specified according to DIN 6885 standards, ensuring compatibility and precision in installation.
Recommendations
The document advises on selecting appropriate models based on application requirements, such as shaft diameter and torque capacity, and suggests using proximity switches for enhanced safety and control.
Key Features
The SIKUMAT® series offers features like synchronous re-engagement after 360°, integral fixed bearings, and the ability to handle high torques up to 10,000 Nm.
Technical Specifications and Procedures
The document outlines the conversion of the old Technical Standard System, emphasizing the calculation of mass inertia moment (J) for rotating masses, crucial for determining the average starting torque (MLa) of machines during the starting process.
Application and Selection of Torque Limiters
Detailed instructions on calculating the slipping time (ta) and using diagrams to determine the standard friction power (PR) are provided. Safety devices like speed monitors and thermal motor monitoring units are recommended to limit slipping time.
Force Limiters and Their Applications
Force Limiters prevent excessive forces in machines, ensuring safety by disengaging when preset limits are exceeded. They are robust, maintenance-free, and can be equipped with non-contact proximity switches for early warning signals.
Assembly and Operation of Force Limiters
The assembly involves connecting the rod to the housing via locking segments, with the disengaging force (FA) adjustable by changing washers.
Technical Data and Accessories
Technical specifications for Force Limiters include maximum disengaging force, stroke, and engagement travel. Accessories like proximity switches are available to signal excessive disengaging force.
Global Contact Information
The document concludes with contact information for RINGSPANN offices worldwide, providing details for inquiries and support across various regions.

Overload Clutches RINGSPANN-4

Introduction Overload Clutches The more comprehensive the automation of machines and installations, the safer their operational function needs to be. Blockages or overloads should never be cause for the destruction of operationally important components. Stoppages must be kept to a minimum so that the production process continues as quickly as possible and without costly repairs. After all, shorter downtimes mean higher productivity. RINGSPANN Overload Clutches are mechanical safety devices which disconnect the output from the input when a preset limit value has been reached. Thus they protect...

Proximity switch for Ratcheting SIKUMAT® with screw faces Proximity switch with plug connection Attaching plug, 90º, incl. 2 m PVC cable Technical Data The proximity switch’s response to an overload is to react on the switching disc located internally. During normal operation the proximity switch is closed, the yellow LED is illuminated. The switching disc moves as the preset limit torque is reached. The proximity switch opens and the yellow LED goes out. A speed-dependent switching sequence is triggered at the output end of the limit sensor. Operating voltage: Max. switching current: Internal...

Ratcheting SIKUMAT® SG … with balls Advantages • Very high response accuracy through the ball principle • Integrated fixed bearing • Keyway in connecting flange for maximum load capacity • Calibrated micro adjustment of torque setting possible, even post-installation • Cost effective The Ball Principle The torque is transmitted via balls which are pressed into detents via Belleville springs. When the preset limit torque has been reached the balls rise out of their seatings and slot into the nearest respective detent – until the overload has been eliminated. This characteristic, together with...
