The RINGSPANN RS series torque limiter is a safety component for power transmissions. It is installed between the motor and the load to interrupt the transmission when the torque exceeds a set value, preventing damage to gears, shafts, couplings or structures. The RS series covers different capacities and configurations, identified by numbers and suffixes that indicate size and mounting variant. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Argentina with technical advice to select the right model.

The RS series designation combines a number indicating the size and a suffix defining the mounting or drive variant. For example, RS 40.1 and RS 40.2 share the same size but differ in configuration; the same applies to other sizes in the series. This logic allows you to choose the version according to the available space and the type of coupling. To request a quote, provide the complete code shown on the nameplate or drawing.

These limiters are used in industries where an overload can destroy equipment: food processing, cement, mining, steel, chemical, aggregate processing and process plants. In Argentina they are commonly found in conveyor belts, elevators, mills, mixers, positive displacement pumps and roller drives. They protect the entire drive train and reduce downtime due to breakage. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to plants and maintenance workshops throughout the country.

To select the correct model, you must define the nominal working torque, the trip torque, the speed, the shaft diameter and the type of coupling. The environment also matters: presence of dust, humidity or temperature. Installation requires careful alignment between shafts and precise adjustment of the trip torque according to the manual. Lubrication and sealing must follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure repeatability. If you have doubts, send us your application data and we will help you choose.

RINGSPANN limiters can be interchanged with other brands of equivalent function, but there is no universal equivalence table: you must compare torque, mounting dimensions, shaft diameter and reset type. When replacing a unit, verify that the new limiter has the same capacity and coupling type. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on compatibilities and alternatives within the RS line.

If you need a torque limiter for your machine, write to us via WhatsApp with the RS code and the size shown on your equipment. We will reply shortly with technical information and a quote. We can also advise you if you are defining a new drive or replacing an existing component.
