Value Collection 325145 Friction Disc Torque Limiter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 325145 is a friction disc torque limiter designed to protect rotating drive components from overload damage. When torque exceeds the set threshold, the friction disc slips to interrupt the load path, preventing damage to motors, shafts, and connected machinery. Model 350, this unit is compact and lightweight at 0.16 pounds, making it practical for use in space-constrained drive assemblies. Installation and adjustment are typically handled by mechanical or industrial maintenance technicians. It is suited for drive train protection in a range of industrial and mechanical applications.

Friction disc torque limiters like the 325145 are used wherever a rotating shaft or drive train requires overload protection. Common applications include conveyor drives, auger assemblies, packaging equipment, and light industrial machinery. The friction disc design allows for repeatable slip events without component replacement, provided the disc is not overloaded beyond its rated capacity. This makes it a practical choice for systems that experience occasional jam or overload conditions during normal operation.

Key Features

• Friction disc design allows slip at torque overload to protect downstream drive components
• Repeatable slip function without requiring disc replacement under normal overload conditions
• Lightweight construction at 0.16 pounds reduces rotational inertia impact on the drive system
• Model 350 designation for straightforward cross-reference and replacement identification
• Compact form factor suitable for space-constrained mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement friction disc torque limiter for mechanical drive systems requiring Model 350 fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or maintenance technician. Disengage and lock out all power sources to the drive system before removing or installing any torque limiter. Ensure the mating shaft diameter and keyway dimensions match the limiter before installation. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque setting adjustment to avoid nuisance slipping or insufficient overload protection.
