RATCHET TORQUE LIMITER
This device is designed to keep shock loads within specified limits.
It elastically transmits the desired torque, absorbing overloads by
temporarily slipping. When it slips, it is necessary to stop the PTO in
order to avoid excessive wear. It is mounted on the implement
side. |
 |
SHEAR BOLT TORQUE LIMITER
This device prevents overloading by means of a shear bolt of
specified size. When the bolt shears off, the hub and yoke assembly is
kept together by a ball bearing ring which allows the two parts to rotate
independent of each other. It is mounted on the implement
side. |
 |
FRICTION TORQUE LIMITER
It prevents overloading when the preset torque is reached. Since the
torque continues to be transmitted, no interruptions of work are
necessary. External springs allow torque setting to be adjusted easily. It
is mounted on the implement side. |

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
This device transmit power in a pre-selected direction of rotation.
It is recommended for those machines which, when suddenly stopped, are
subject to a large inertia force. It is mounted on the implement side. If
another safety device is fitted to the same drive shaft, then the RL
overrunning clutch should be mounted on the tractor
side. |
