The RINGSPANN RSK series torque limiter is a safety component for power transmissions. It is installed between the motor and the load to interrupt transmission when torque exceeds a set value, preventing damage to gears, shafts, couplings and other elements. Its ball-and-spring coupling design allows automatic or manual re-engagement depending on the model. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series as exclusive representative in Argentina.

The RSK series designation is read by size and type of design. For example, RSK 40.1 and RSK 40.2 share size 40, but the suffix .1 or .2 indicates construction or adjustment variants. The same applies to RSK 50.1, RSK 50.2, RSK 63.1, RSK 63.2, RSK 80.1 and RSK 80.2. The central number (40, 50, 63, 80) defines the torque capacity and mounting dimensions; the suffix distinguishes versions within that size. To select the correct model, it is essential to know the required release torque and the type of connection.

These limiters are used in industries where an overload can cause costly damage: food processing, cement, mining, steel, plastics, wood and material handling. In Argentina, they are used in conveyor belts, mills, mixers, pumps, fans and machine tools. They protect the drive train against jams, sudden starts or blockages, disconnecting the drive torque before breakage occurs. They are a reliable solution to maintain continuity of critical processes.

To choose an RSK limiter, take into account the maximum working torque, the set release torque, the rotation speed and the type of coupling (direct, with pulley, gear, etc.). Mounting must ensure precise alignment between shafts to avoid parasitic loads. Lubrication of the balls and springs is key for smooth, repeatable operation. Depending on the application, you can choose automatic or manual re-engagement. Overload protection also depends on correct selection of size and torque setting.

RINGSPANN RSK series torque limiters can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, but interchangeability is not direct: mounting dimensions, release torque, type of connection and service conditions must be verified. Matching the nominal size is not enough. Therefore, it is always advisable to compare technical specifications and consult a specialist before replacing a component. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on selecting the right variant.
