Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the main purpose of the KTR-SI Compact overload system?

The KTR-SI Compact overload system is designed to protect adjacent components from damage caused by overloads and sudden torque spikes. It limits the torque transmitted through the system, preventing mechanical failure and ensuring safe operation.

How does the overload system handle overloading?

In an overload situation, the KTR-SI Compact system reduces the transmitted torque to a lower residual torque, preventing excessive force from damaging connected machinery. Two types are available: DK (ratchet design) re-engages every 15 degrees, while SK (synchronous design) re-engages after a full 360-degree rotation.

What are the different hub types available for the KTR-SI Compact?

The KTR-SI Compact offers two primary hub types: 1.0 and 4.5. Hub type 1.0 offers a direct shaft connection, while hub type 4.5 incorporates a taper bush for secure clamping on the shaft.

Can I adjust the torque limit on the KTR-SI Compact overload system?

Yes, the KTR-SI Compact system allows for torque adjustment. Follow the instructions in the manual for proper procedure and consider safety precautions when setting the torque.

What safety considerations should I be aware of when using the KTR-SI Compact overload system?

Always ensure the drive train is secured against accidental switch-on to prevent injuries caused by rotating parts. Power off the system before performing any maintenance or adjustments, and use appropriate safety equipment like gloves to handle heated components.
