Mini Keeper

Product photo
  • Ultra-compact slipping clutch & brake
  • ・Use of engineering plastic materials makes the Mini Keeper ultra-light and compact.
  • ・By employing fine chemicals for the friction surface, delivers long service life, stable slipping torque, and accurate torque repeatability.
  • ・The easy-to-read torque indicator makes it easy to set the torque.

Selection

If using the Torque Limiter with human transportation or lifting devices, take the necessary precautions with equipment to avoid serious injury or death from falling objects.

Choose set torque and slip rpm from the IIIIIIII part of the T-N curve graphs below.

*The T-N curve graph displays the limit value reached by heat generation during continual slip. When the slip time per one operation is short and the interval is long, it is possible to use the MINI-KEEPER in excess of the T-N value.
In this case, please contact Tsubaki representatives for a consultation.

*Please contact Tsubaki representatives for non-standard specifications.

*However, be aware that when the speed is 30 r/min or less, a stick-slip phenomenon may occur, which will cause unstable torque.
A stick-slip phenomenon is a phenomenon in which a friction surface slips and stops repeatedly.
