Value Collection 325146 Friction Disc Torque Limiter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 325146 is a friction disc torque limiter designed to protect rotating drive components from overload damage. When torque exceeds a set threshold, the friction disc slips, interrupting power transmission and preventing damage to connected shafts, gearboxes, couplings, or driven equipment. This is a Model 500 unit, suited for mechanical drive assemblies where controlled slip protection is required. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals working on industrial or commercial power transmission systems.

Friction disc torque limiters are used in conveyor drives, pump drives, fan assemblies, and similar rotating equipment where sudden load spikes or jams could damage downstream components. The Model 500 designation indicates a specific torque capacity and disc configuration within this product series. This unit ships as a single piece and is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical drive applications.

Key Features

• Friction disc slip mechanism protects downstream drive components from overload
• Model 500 configuration for defined torque capacity range
• Compact and lightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy integration into existing drive trains
• Single-unit packaging — no minimum multi-pack requirement

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service torque limiter for mechanical drive assemblies requiring a friction disc style overload protection device. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Torque limiters are installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out the drive system completely before removing or installing any drive components. Ensure the shaft diameter, bore size, and torque rating of the replacement limiter match the original equipment specifications before installation. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for mounting orientation and fastener requirements.
