There is provided an indicator for a torque limiter, comprising one or more resilient members configured to move from an initial, compressed state during normal operation of the torque limiter, to a subsequent, expanded state upon tripping of the torque limiter, to provide a visual indication that the torque limiter has tripped.
Claims13
An indicator for a torque limiter, comprising:
- one or more resilient members configured to move from an initial, compressed state to a subsequent, expanded state to provide a visual indication that the torque limiter has tripped.
A torque limiter comprising:
- a cavity for retaining an indicator that includes one or more resilient members configured to move from an initial, compressed state to a subsequent, expanded state to provide a visual indication that the torque limiter has tripped;
- wherein the cavity extends from an outer surface of the torque limiter to an internal chamber of the torque limiter, and is sized such that the one or more resilient members are compressed into their initial, compressed state when the indicator is located in the cavity in use.
