Tsubaki’s Torque Limiter Sprockets

Tsubaki’s Torque Limiter Sprockets feature a unique, user-friendly design that are pre-assembled and custom-bored to your specifications. The automatic safety device prevents torque overload and allows for more reliable, cost-effective operations. You can change settings on our torque limiter sprockets with a simple adjusting nut. The product also comes with an automatic reset, so you don’t have to manually reset the sprocket every time an overload occurs.

Available in a wide range of sizes and tooth counts, Tsubaki’s Torque Limiter Sprockets are composed of two composite friction disks compressed against a hardened-toothed sprocket with specialized springs. During typical operation, our sprocket will allow the central drive shaft to rotate and transmit force. When the rotational force exceeds the set value, the shaft slips between the friction disks, preventing the driveshaft from transmitting additional force until the torque reaches safe levels.
