The most recent update to the Rexnord Autogard Torque Limiter range— the XG Series —provides protection from unexpected torque spikes for extruders. Designed to disengage the driving motor from the extruder gearbox in the event of a process jam, the XG Series was developed based on over 30 years of industry experience in conjunction with leading machine builders and users. Able to instantaneously separate damaging inertias over a pre-set level and featuring easy-to-adjust torque setting, drop-out options, simple manual disconnection and disengagement sensors, the XG Series is the mechanical fuse for extruders.
