Funktionsweise – Funktionsprinzip
The overrunning clutch (also known as a freewheel clutch) allows the output shaft to rotate freely in one direction while transmitting full torque in the other. Inside the housing, spring-loaded prongs engage with a ratchet surface on the hub. When the input shaft drives the output shaft in the intended direction, the prongs lock into the ratchet teeth and transmit power. When the output shaft attempts to overdrive the input (such as when a tractor PTO is disengaged while a heavy flywheel implement is still spinning), the prongs disengage and the output freewheels. This prevents dangerous back-drive forces from traveling through the PTO shaft to the tractor transmission, protecting both equipment and the operator.
Zurücksetzen-Methode: Automatic — continuous engagement/disengagement
Am besten geeignet für: Implements with high rotational inertia (mowers, balers, flail choppers) requiring back-drive protection
Typische Anwendungsszenarien in der Landwirtschaft
Rotationsmäher und Schlegelmäher
Schützt das Getriebe des Mähwerks vor Beschädigungen, wenn die Messer auf versteckte Steine, Baumstümpfe oder Metallteile treffen. Der Drehmomentbegrenzer absorbiert die Stoßbelastung und verhindert, dass sie die Zapfwelle des Traktors erreicht.
Heuballenpressen & Rundballenpressen
Verhindert Schäden am Ballenpressmechanismus bei der Zuführung von Pressgut, bei Fehlern in der Garnwicklung oder beim Eindringen von Fremdkörpern, indem der Antriebsstrang getrennt wird, bevor schädliche Drehmomentwerte erreicht werden.
Rotationsfräsen und Kultivatoren
Schützt das Getriebe der Bodenfräse und die Zapfwelle des Traktors, wenn die Zinken auf vergrabene Steine, Wurzeln oder verdichtete Bodenschichten treffen, die extreme Drehmomentspitzen erzeugen können.
Manure Spreaders
Protects the beater mechanism and gearbox from overload when encountering frozen clumps, foreign objects, or uneven material distribution in the hopper.
Feed Mixers & TMR Wagons
Safeguards the mixer auger drive from damage caused by twine wrap, frozen feed blocks, or excessive loading that generates torque beyond design limits.

Installation & Usage Guide
Installation Steps
Step 1: Verify that the PTO shaft spline size matches the torque limiter spline specification (1 3/8″ Z6 (female & male)). Clean all spline surfaces thoroughly.
Step 2: Slide the torque limiter onto the PTO shaft spline, ensuring full engagement. Secure with the provided push pin kit or retaining hardware.
Step 3: Connect the output side (yoke or splined shaft) to the implement input shaft or gearbox. Ensure proper alignment and secure all fasteners to the recommended torque.
Step 4: Apply grease through the grease nipple to lubricate the spline interface and internal components. Use lithium-based EP grease (NLGI #2).
Step 5: Perform a low-speed test run to verify correct engagement and smooth operation before full-power operation.
Safety & Maintenance Tips
⚠ Always disengage the tractor PTO before inspecting or servicing the torque limiter.
⚠ Use only genuine replacement parts specified for your series to maintain the correct torque rating.
⚠ Re-grease spline connections every 8 operating hours or as specified in your equipment manual.
⚠ Inspect for wear, cracks, or damage before each season. Replace worn components immediately.
⚠ Never operate with damaged or missing PTO shaft safety shields.
Selection Guide — Choosing the Right Model
Selecting the correct torque limiter requires confirming the following parameters:
✓ Required Torque Rating (Nm): Match the implement’s maximum operating torque plus a 20–30% safety margin.
✓ PTO Shaft Spline Size: Commonly 1 3/8″ Z6 (6-spline) or 1 3/4″ Z6/Z20. Verify both input and output spline requirements.
✓ PTO Speed: Standard 540 RPM or economy 1000 RPM — confirm your implement’s requirement.
✓ Connection Type: Yoke output for standard shaft tubes, splined shaft for inline assemblies, or flanged output for direct gearbox mounting.
✓ Overload Frequency: Frequent overloads favor auto-reset types (ratchet, friction, automatic). Infrequent but severe overloads suit shear bolt types.
✓ Environmental Conditions: Consider dust, moisture, temperature extremes. Sealed automatic and friction types offer superior protection in harsh environments.
