Operation

1. During normal operation, the steel ball ⑨ held by the hub boss ① is pressurized and held in the ball pocket of the flange ② by the force of the spring ⑲, and torque is transmitted from the hub boss ① via the steel ball ⑨ to the flange ②.
2. In the event of an overload, the steel ball ⑨ is pushed out by the slope of the ball pocket of the flange ②, cutting off the transmitted torque. At the same time, the segment ⑪ moves up the slope of the hub boss protrusion against the force of the spring ⑲, pushing apart the case ⑤ and tapered ring ⑫ and reaching the top of the hub boss protrusion. This removes the force pressing the steel ball ⑨ into the ball pocket of the flange ②, allowing the flange ② to rotate freely on the bearing ③. At this time, the case ⑤ also moves axially (towards the adjusting ring ⑭), and this action can be used to detect an overload with a limit switch, proximity switch, etc.
3. To restart the machine, after eliminating the cause of the overload, rotate either the input or output side of the torque releaser until the alignment marks on the hub boss ① and flange ② are aligned, and then press the case ⑤ against the flange ② to reset it.
