Description
GUMMI LT belongs to coupling, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for LT and any equivalents.
The GUMMI Type A flexible coupling with LT torque limiter is a shaft-to-shaft power transmission component that both absorbs misalignment and vibration and safeguards the drive by releasing torque once it surpasses a preset threshold. It is found in machinery where an overload could harm the motor, gearbox or mechanism.
This product belongs to the GUMMI Type A flexible coupling family and is specifically the torque limiter variant, denoted by the LT code. The LT designation sets it apart within the range. The coupling incorporates an elastic element that transmits motion and cushions loads, along with a mechanism that disengages or releases when the set torque is exceeded. Ordering is done by model and LT code according to the GUMMI catalogue.
Such couplings are commonly specified for lines where a blockage or sudden start can produce torque spikes: conveyors, elevators, mixers, positive displacement pumps, mills and machines with chain or belt drives. They also serve to protect gearboxes and motors when the process can jam. In these situations the limiter responds before the overload reaches the most costly component of the assembly.
Selecting and installing an LT coupling requires attention to the nominal and maximum torque of the drive, the speed, the load type and the permissible misalignment between shafts. The limiter is adjusted to the torque you wish to protect; an incorrect setting may cause unnecessary tripping or fail to protect in time. Verify shaft alignment before start-up and check the elastic element during scheduled maintenance.
If you need an equivalent, contact us on WhatsApp with the model and LT code, or with the details of the coupling being replaced: shaft diameter, connection type, working torque and available space. With that information we can identify the GUMMI variant that best fits your equipment. We can also assist if you are considering another configuration within the same Type A line.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a standard GUMMI Type A coupling and the LT?
- The LT includes a torque limiter that engages when torque exceeds the set value, protecting the motor, gearbox and mechanism. The standard coupling only transmits and dampens. Consider working torque and the level of protection required.
- How do I order the GUMMI LT coupling I need?
- Send us a WhatsApp message with the model and LT code, or with the data of the coupling to be replaced: shaft diameter, connection type and working torque. We will then locate the correct GUMMI variant and provide a quote.
- What data should I consider when installing a coupling with limiter?
- Check the nominal and maximum torque of the drive, the speed, the load type and the permissible misalignment between shafts. The limiter is set according to the torque to be protected. Verify alignment before start-up and inspect the elastic element at every maintenance interval.
