Monitoring components for torque limiters: For safe monitoring and reliable control

Q: What is the difference between mechanical and contactless monitoring components?

Mechanical monitoring components are activated when a tappet, lever, or similar sensor component is actuated by a component of the torque limiter. This always requires direct physical contact between the clutch and the limit switch. Contactless limit switches are activated without direct contact. For example, inductive limit switches are used, which detect metallic objects through an electromagnetic field.

Gli interruttori di finecorsa di mayr® monitorano con sicurezza e affidabilità i limitatori di coppia EAS® in modo meccanico o senza contatto, a seconda dell’applicazione. Rilevano i movimenti di disinnesto e le posizioni finali del giunto, fungendo da sensori di controllo di cicli elettronici e meccanici.

Overview of Monitoring Components

The mayr^® limit switch safely and reliably monitors your EAS^® torque limiter, either mechanically or without contact, depending on the application. It measures disengagement movement and the final position of the clutch and acts as a command transmitter for electronic and mechanical processes.

Application Fields & Use Cases

Monitoring components are used across a wide range of industry sectors – anywhere torque limiters need to be precisely monitored and processes reliably controlled.

Industry sectors

Application scenarios

Monitoring disengagement movements and end positions of torque limiters
Providing control signals for electronic and mechanical processes
Integrating mechanical torque limiters into monitoring and control systems

Why choose mayr^® power transmission monitoring components?

Torque limiters reliably limit torque transmission but do not provide electronic status data without additional components. With integrated limit switches, they send a usable signal when disengaging, which can be used, for example, to switch off the drive or for monitoring systems. This improves process visibility and safety for both people and equipment.

FAQ - Domande frequenti

Monitoring components enable mechanical torque limiters to provide information about their disengagement movements and end positions during operation. This information can be used in a number of ways to control electronic and mechanical processes, comprehensively monitor machines and systems, and improve overall safety for both people and equipment.

The monitoring components in our portfolio are suitable for mayr^® mechanical torque limiters. Selecting the right choice depends, for example, on the clutch actuation travel, installation situation, and connection options. We recommend getting advice from our experts to find the most suitable product.

Mechanical monitoring components are activated when a tappet, lever, or similar sensor component is actuated by a component of the torque limiter. This always requires direct physical contact between the clutch and the limit switch.

Contactless limit switches are activated without direct contact. For example, inductive limit switches are used, which detect metallic objects through an electromagnetic field.

Limit switches provide important feedback on the operating state of torque limiters. As electronic components, they are integrated into control systems according to the wiring diagram and can, for example, be used to disconnect drives, provide feedback for control systems and automated equipment, and act as command signals for electronic or mechanical processes.

This refers to limit switches that are activated when the torque limiter disengages. Either mechanical limit switches are used, which can be actuated axially or from all sides, or contactless limit switches.

In addition to information about the basic operating principle, i.e. mechanical or contactless, the component’s dimensions, input voltage, clutch actuation travel, power consumption, switching frequency, protection class, permissible ambient temperature, and other relevant data are important. All essential data and information are provided in the installation and operational instructions for the respective product.
