Torque Limiter ECE in a very flat design. Robust and perfected safety without compromises

Mechanical Torque Limiters are used in all kinds of technical application areas. Their job is the protection of products and expensive devices.
Torque Limiters react very sensitive to the smallest increase of torque and disconnect the drive from the following masses in a split second. That's why they are also called "Safety Couplings". The disconnection is forced, that means it has no effect on the function in case of an electrical power outage. A reason for a torque overload is for example the accumulation of material. That's why torque limiters are also called overload clutches.

The special thing about Type ECE is the axial short design, which requires a very small installation space. This simple and robust functional principle has thousandfold proved itself. It has a reliable function and still needs just few parts.

High-precision torque limitation is guaranteed with the use of special disc springs, they also enable a very wide torque range without changing the disc spring.

The perfected functional principle cuts the torque between the engine and the machine within few angle degrees. The couplings have a fixed point switching. That means one switching point per turn. That is important to retain the reference point of the machine.

To stop the drive immediately in case of an overload, it is advisable to place a proximity switch to the disc spring. The disc spring moves while the torque limiter is disconnecting the drive from the machine. The signal from the proximity switch can be used for the drive control to stop the engine immediately.

Type ECE has a keyway for the torque transmission between engine and torque limiter. Chain wheels, belt pulleys etc. are mounted on the engine shaft and screwed on the flange ring of the ECE for the torque transmission.

The torque limiter ECE is available in 14 sizes, and torque ranges from 2 Nm to 900 Nm are possible.

Founded in 1981 in Kleinwallstadt am Main, the ENEMAC GmbH (Society for Energy and Mechanical Engineering) looks back on almost 40-year history. Steady progress and recent developments have extended and modified the product range of ENEMAC over the decades.
In the early years focusing on the topic of machine safety for feed drives. With the safety clutch type ECT-R ENEMAC entered the market in the machine tool industry. Further series followed to service the needs of this market segment.

During the 1990s, the focus shifted towards food and packaging industry. ENEMAC specialized on rust-free safety couplings made of stainless steel to accomodate the high hygiene and production requirements in this area. In parallel, lower cost versions of safety couplings, the so-called overload clutches have been developed. To complete the product range, shaft couplings in different variants and versions have been integrated into the offer.

In recent years, the company ventured a step above the usual "clutch plate" addition in the direction of clamping technology. Mechanical clamping screws and clamping nuts and hydromechanical spring clamping cylinders provide an alternative to simple workholding equipment such as clamps or clamping claws as well as to semi or fully automatic clamping devices.

ENEMAC clamping technology is very versatile. Whether for tool or workpiece clamping, in materials handling, bending and welding engineering - either as original equipment or aftermarket item.

What value this new product line in the company's development will take, the future will tell. The company will face the new challenges of the market and be constantly striving to meet customer needs individually and in highest quality.
