RINGSPANN SB series torque limiters are safety components for power transmissions. They are installed between the motor and the machine to disengage the movement when the torque exceeds the set value, preventing damage to gears, shafts, chains or pulleys. Their synchronous release design allows fast, repeatable disengagement, with manual or automatic reset depending on the version. They are used in production lines, conveyors, mixers and equipment where an unexpected overload can stop the plant or break costly components.
The SB series designation is read by size: SB 4, SB 7, SB 11, SB 14, SB 18 and SB 22. Each number indicates a different torque capacity within the family. Any suffixes that may appear in the full code define mounting variants, reset type or connection style, but they should not be confused with the size. To identify the exact model your application needs, the best approach is to provide the full code shown on the nameplate or on the equipment drawing. With that data, at MR Accesorios Industriales we verify it and provide the corresponding alternative.
In Argentine industry, SB torque limiters are found in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, positive displacement pumps and machine tools. They also appear in packaging lines, food plants and chemical processes where a blockage or a sudden start can generate a torque spike. The function is always the same: to act as a mechanical fuse and protect the rest of the transmission. When they disengage, the equipment stops before gears, bearings or shafts are damaged.
To select a torque limiter, you must define the nominal working torque, the trip torque and the type of coupling with the shafts. The direction of rotation, rotation speed and environmental conditions also matter: dust, humidity or temperature may require additional protection. During installation, it is key to align the shafts well and respect the tightening torque of the fastening screws. Correct lubrication and sealing ensure that the release mechanism works with repeatability. If the equipment operates with reversing, this must be indicated when requesting a quote.
Torque limiters are interchanged between brands by torque capacity, shaft diameter and mounting type, not by the commercial code. RINGSPANN has its own nomenclature, and other firms use different designations for equivalent functions. Therefore, to replace an existing limiter it is advisable to compare the flange dimensions, the bore diameter and the set torque. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the functional equivalent within the RINGSPANN line or among other alternatives we carry.
If you need a RINGSPANN SB series torque limiter, send us the code or model via WhatsApp. With that data and the characteristics of your equipment, we will provide a quote shortly. We can also advise you if you are replacing a component from another brand or if you need to define the size for a new transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which SB torque limiter size I need?
- You must start from the nominal torque and trip torque of your transmission, plus the shaft diameter and mounting type. With that data, the size is defined as SB 4, SB 7, SB 11, SB 14, SB 18 or SB 22. If you do not have them at hand, send us the equipment code and we will help you.
- What is the difference between a torque limiter and a flexible coupling?
- A flexible coupling transmits movement and absorbs misalignment, but it does not cut the transmission in the event of an overload. A torque limiter does disengage when the torque exceeds the set value, protecting the rest of the machine. They are different functions and can be combined in the same line.
- Can I replace a limiter from another brand with a RINGSPANN SB?
- Yes, if the torque capacity, shaft diameter and fastening type match. Interchangeability is defined by performance and dimensions, not by the code. Send us the characteristics of the one you have installed and we will indicate the equivalent RINGSPANN option or an available alternative.
