Rexnord introduces the XG Series to its Autogard Torque Limiters

Rexnord’s Autogard Torque Limiters are designed for overload protection with a range of options that offer bi-directional protection, lower total cost of ownership, increased accuracy of torque limitation, and longer life at high speeds.

The most recent update to the Rexnord Autogard Torque Limiter range— the XG Series —provides protection from unexpected torque spikes for extruders. Designed to disengage the driving motor from the extruder gearbox in the event of a process jam, the XG Series was developed based on over 30 years of industry experience in conjunction with leading machine builders and users. Able to instantaneously separate damaging inertias over a pre-set level and featuring easy-to-adjust torque setting, drop-out options, simple manual disconnection and disengagement sensors, the XG Series is the mechanical fuse for extruders.
