HA-CO Pneumatic Safety Couplings

Reliable protection against overload for your drive system

An unexpected blockage or overload can have serious consequences for industrial machinery. Damage to drive components, unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs should be avoided wherever possible. HA-CO pneumatic safety couplings provide a reliable and precise mechanical solution for this purpose.

These high-quality safety couplings are manufactured by HA-CO GmbH and are designed for applications where reliable protection of the drive system and precise torque limitation are essential.

The pneumatic safety coupling uses air pressure to set the release torque of the coupling. When the preset load is exceeded, the coupling can interrupt the transmission of power. This helps protect the drive and other machine components against the effects of overload or blockage.

What is a HA-CO pneumatic safety coupling?

A pneumatic safety coupling is a mechanical safety component used to protect a machine and drive system against excessive loads.

Instead of setting the release torque solely mechanically, a pneumatic safety coupling uses air pressure. This allows the transferable torque to be precisely adjusted to the requirements of the application.

When the machine load exceeds the preset level, the safety coupling engages and interrupts the transmission of power. This helps prevent excessive loads from being transferred to other components within the drive system.

The safety coupling therefore helps protect components such as:

• Motors

• Drive shafts

• Gearboxes

• Machine components

• Transmissions

• Other components within the drive system

In short, the HA-CO pneumatic safety coupling functions as a precisely adjustable mechanical safety device within the drive system.

• Reliable machine protection – helps protect the drive system against overload and blockage.

• Pneumatic operation – allows precise adjustment of the release torque.

• Accurate operation – suitable for applications where a controlled safety function is important.

• Robust construction – designed for use in industrial machinery and drive systems.

• Flexible integration – available with different configurations for the pneumatic connection.

• Compact design – suitable for integration into various machine constructions.

• High-quality manufacturing – produced by HA-CO, a manufacturer of industrial drive technology components.

HA-CO FHW-P and FHW-PLA

The HA-CO range includes several pneumatic safety couplings. Two versions available through OpenSupply are the FHW-P and FHW-PLA.

HA-CO FHW-P

The FHW-P is a pneumatic safety coupling in which the pneumatic connection is routed through the shaft.

This version is suitable for applications where the pneumatic connection needs to be integrated through the shaft construction. This makes it suitable for drive systems where the available space around the coupling is limited.

HA-CO FHW-PLA

The FHW-PLA is a pneumatic safety coupling in which the pneumatic connection is located on the outside of the coupling.

This version offers a different connection configuration compared with the FHW-P and can therefore be suitable for machines where the pneumatic connection needs to be connected externally.

The choice between the FHW-P and FHW-PLA depends on the machine design, available installation space and the desired position of the pneumatic connection.

Applications

HA-CO pneumatic safety couplings are used in industrial machinery and drive systems where reliable overload protection and precise torque adjustment are important.

Possible applications include:

• Industrial machinery

• Mechanical engineering

• Automation systems

• Production machinery

• Drive systems

• Conveyor and transport systems

• Industrial installations

• Machines with pneumatic drive technology

The pneumatic operation makes these safety couplings suitable for applications where the release torque needs to be precisely adjusted to the machine load.

Precise torque adjustment with pneumatic operation

An important advantage of a pneumatic safety coupling is the ability to control the transferable torque using air pressure.

This allows the safety coupling to be adjusted to the specific load of the machine. This is particularly useful for applications where different loads occur or where precise adjustment of the release torque is required.

When a machine unexpectedly becomes blocked or the load increases significantly, the safety coupling can engage once the preset level is exceeded. This helps protect the drive against the effects of excessive mechanical load.

Easy integration into your drive system

A pneumatic safety coupling must be carefully matched to the other components of the drive system. Factors such as the required torque, machine load, available installation space and desired position of the pneumatic connection are important considerations.

The different HA-CO versions make it possible to adapt the safety coupling to the design of the machine.

The choice between an FHW-P and FHW-PLA, for example, may depend on how the pneumatic connection needs to be integrated into the machine.

Correct selection ensures that the safety coupling can be optimally integrated into an existing or new drive system.
