The TL Series uses a ball/detent interface and proximity sensor to immediately disengage the machine shaft when excessive torque or a machine jam occurs.

Nexen (Vadnais Heights, MN) announces TL Series pneumatically engaged, single-position torque limiters, delivering superior overload protection for industrial machinery. The TL Series uses a ball/detent interface and proximity sensor to immediately disengage the machine shaft when excessive torque or a machine jam occurs, effectively protecting downstream equipment and product from damage and decreasing downtime. Additional features include:

• A remote trip-out torque adjustment via an air regulator.
• Each torque limiter’s interface has 5 ball/detents arranged in an asymmetrical pattern.
• A unique hard-chromed detent interface that decreases drive-ring wear.
• Semi-open and totally enclosed, nickel-plated TL Series units are available.
• An air chamber that is sealed with o-rings.
• Internal springs separate the ball and detent interfaces.
• A proximity sensor features with LED that illuminates to indicate when the torque limiter is engaged.
