Only the knowledge of these instructions can avoid faults on the torque limiter and ensure fault-free and safe operation. Non-adherence to the instructions can cause product or property damage or personal injury. Flender does not accept any liability for damage or operating failures that are due to non-adherence to these instructions.
This also applies to touch protection facilities. • Only use original spare parts from Flender. Flender only accepts liability for original spare parts from Flender. Other spare parts are not tested and approved by Flender.
Description The SECUREX torque limiters described here are universally applicable, load-limiting machine elements that are used to protect the system and its components. Application The SECUREX torque limiters are designed for use throughout the mechanical engineering industry. The SECUREX torque limiters are used to protect the machine elements of the drive train from overload when load peaks occur.

Application planning Check the delivery for damage and for completeness. Report any damage and/or missing parts to Flender immediately. The torque limiter is delivered in preassembled groups. Transport of the torque limiter WARNING Severe personal injury due to improper transport Severe personal injury due to falling components or due to crushing.
Application planning 3.3 Requirements for spare parts Requirements for spare parts The surface of the slip element in contact with the friction linings must have a surface roughness of Ra 3.2 or better. slip element (not part of the delivery) Figure 3-1 surface requirement slip element Assembly and operating instructions 3950de...
Assembly DANGER Danger due to bursting of the torque limiter The torque limiter may burst if not used as intended. There I danger to life due to flying fragments. • Use the torque limiter as intended Note Information about the assembly of the torque limiter Only use undamaged components for the assembly of the torque limiter .
Assembly 4.2 Set torque Place the preassembled torque limiter on the shaft so that the shaft end and hub end are aligned. 10. Secure the hub of the torque limiter with the set screw (2) by tightening it with the specific tightening torque T (see section Speeds, geometry data und weights (page 29)).

Assembly 4.2 Set torque SECUREX T size T 130/85 and T 240/85 Secure the shaft or the torque limiter against rotation. Tightening the clamping nut (3) until it rests against the locking plate (8). This is the zero position. Mark the current position of the clamping nut (3) with a suitable marker.
Assembly 4.2 Set torque 4. If individual screw heads of adjusting screws (10) are not yet in contact, unscrew them accordingly so that all adjusting screws (10) are in contact with the centering disc (9). 5. This is the position. Mark the current position of all adjusting screws (10) with a suitable marker.
Assembly 4.3 Disassembly and exchange of wear parts Disassembly and exchange of wear parts The friction linings of the torque limiter are subject to continuous wear, which requires occasional replacement of the linings depending on the tripping frequency. Procedure Loosen the clamping nut (3) by first bending up the locking plate (8) or loosening the locking screw (11), depending on the size.
Commissioning Slipping in of the friction linings Environmental influences such as surface roughness, material pairing, or even longer downtimes can have an impact on the accuracy of the set torque. Although these influences cannot be prevented but can be reduced by slipping in of the friction linings. If a higher accuracy of the limiting torque is required, it is recommended to let the torque limiter slip in at low speed for to 100 to 200 turns at approx.

Operation Triggering the torque limiter SECUREX torque limiter are designed to absorb individual load peaks for protecting the system. Permanent slipping, especially for high relative speeds, leads to premature wear of the friction linings and should therefore be prevented. A slipping process with a duration > 1 second must be prevented in order to avoid an impermissibly high heating of the friction linings.
