What is torque limitation?

Torque limitation is a system used to prevent damage to machinery caused by excessive torque. It works by limiting the amount of torque that can be transmitted from one part of the machine to another. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including the use of mechanical devices such as clutches or limit switches, or through electronic control systems that regulate the power output of the machine. Torque limitation is particularly important in applications where the machine may experience sudden or unexpected changes in load, such as in heavy machinery or industrial equipment. By limiting the torque that can be transmitted, the system can prevent costly damage to the machine and ensure the safety of operators and other personnel.
