FV Adjustable friction torque limiter

Friction torque limiters, commonly referred to as friction clutches, are devices used to limit torque during overloads. During operation, the plates of the torque limiter slip against friction linings, transmitting torque at the clutch setting. The friction clutch is effective in limiting possible overloads and torque peaks generated during starting-up by implements with high inertia (i.e. those equipped with flywheels or heavy rotating masses).
