A TSUBAKI TGM torque limiter sits in the drive train between the motor and the driven machine, acting as a mechanical fuse. When torque rises above the value you have set, the unit releases the drive so gears, chains, pulleys and frames are spared from overload damage. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series and can help you match a model to your equipment.

The code works like this: TGM stays fixed and the trailing figure shows the frame size. Sizes such as TGM3, TGM6, TGM20, TGM60 and TGM200 step up through the capacity range, so a larger figure means a larger build and a higher torque band. That is why the size should be picked from the normal running torque of the drive and the peak torque the transmission can tolerate, not from the physical size of the machine.

Typical duties include food processing, cement, mining, oil, water treatment and general manufacturing. Mills, belt conveyors, elevators, mixers, pumps and fans all benefit when a jam, a sudden start or an overload spike would otherwise travel back through the drive. Once the set torque is exceeded, the limiter opens the drive path, which stops the movement before the motor or the machine takes damage.

Selection calls for the running torque, the release torque, the speed and the coupling arrangement. On installation, align the shafts and bolt the unit down firmly so it runs without vibration. Follow the maker's guidance on lubrication and sealing to keep the release point repeatable. Where shock loads are present, check the service factor and leave enough margin when setting the release torque.

TGM limiters can stand in for equivalent units from other makes, provided the comparison covers torque capacity, mounting dimensions and coupling style. A matching model number on its own proves nothing; check the adjustment range, the maximum speed and the operating environment as well. We can help you pin down a suitable equivalent without putting the safety of the drive at risk.
