Flexible coupling GUMMI with torque limiter (LT)

GUMMI LT is a coupling reference, within Power transmission. Request a quote for LT via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The GUMMI Type A flexible coupling with LT torque limiter is a power transmission component that connects two shafts and, in addition to absorbing misalignment and vibration, protects the drive by releasing the torque when it exceeds a preset value. It is used in equipment where an overload can damage the motor, gearbox or mechanism. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this GUMMI line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the right configuration.

This item is a flexible coupling from the GUMMI Type A line, in its torque limiter version, identified with the LT code. The torque limiter configuration (LT) is what defines this model within the family. The coupling combines an elastic element that transmits motion and dampens loads with a device that releases or disengages when the set torque is exceeded. It is ordered by model and LT code according to the GUMMI catalogue.

Typical applications of a coupling with torque limiter appear in lines where a blockage or a sudden start can generate torque peaks: conveyors, elevators, mixers, positive displacement pumps, mills and machines with chain or belt drives. It is also used to protect gearboxes and motors when the process can jam. In those cases the limiter acts before the overload reaches the most expensive component of the assembly.

To select and install an LT coupling, take into account the nominal and maximum torque of the drive, the speed, the type of load and the permissible misalignment between shafts. The limiter is set according to the torque you want to protect; a poorly calibrated setting can trip unnecessarily or fail to protect in time. Check shaft alignment before start-up and inspect the condition of the elastic element during scheduled maintenance.

If you need an equivalent or a nearby size, message us on WhatsApp with the model and the LT code, or with the data of the coupling you are replacing: shaft diameter, type of connection, working torque and available space. With that data we can locate the GUMMI variant that best suits your equipment. We can also guide you if you are looking for another configuration within the same Type A line.
