Sikkerhedskoblinger
Sikkerhedskoblinger, often translated as safety couplings or safety clutches, are mechanical devices designed to protect machinery and personnel from damage or injury due to excessive torque or overload conditions. They are integrated into power transmission systems to intentionally break the connection between a driving and a driven component when a predefined torque limit is exceeded. This interruption prevents further operation of the system until the overload condition is resolved and the coupling is reset.
There are several types of sikkerhedskoblinger, each operating on different principles. Shear pin couplings use a
The primary function of a sikkerhedskobling is to act as a sacrificial weak link in the system.
