Shock Guard TGH Series

- This type can be attached to a high-speed rotating shaft such as a direct motor connection, and is also compatible with high torque.
- ・The repeated trip accuracy is within ±5%.
- ・In addition to the basic type, we also stock coupling and pulley types.
- ・This function does not automatically reset, so after tripping due to overload, the rotation of the drive side is not transmitted to the driven side.
- ・The return method can be selected from one-position return (returning in only one position) or random return.
・One position reset :It always returns to a fixed position. Ideal for phase alignment.
・Random Return:It can be restored regardless of the position.

Operating principle
During normal operation (engagement)

In the TGH series, several drive balls (steel balls A) are sandwiched between a drive plate and a slide plate, and power is transmitted while being pressurized by a spring.
Power enters through the hub, is transmitted to the slide plate which meshes with the involute spline, and is then transmitted to the drive plate via the drive balls (steel balls A).
The driven pulley and coupling are fixed to the adapter attached to the drive plate with spring pins and bolts.
During overload (trip)

When an overload occurs, the drive balls (steel balls A) push the slide plate toward the spring, and while rotating, they jump out of each pocket on the drive plate, cutting off power.
After this, if the drive ball (steel ball A) continues to spin freely, it will enter a deep pocket in the slide plate, and steel ball B on the intermediate plate will support the spring load applied to the slide plate.
As a result, the drive ball (steel ball A) remains stuck in a deep pocket in the slide plate, and even if it continues to spin freely, it does not transmit power to the drive plate and continues to spin freely.
