One-way torque limiter?
One-way torque limiter?
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to know if exist a "one way torque limiter".
Basically I'm looking for something that fully engage in
one direction while disengage with torque friction in the other direction.
Thanks

Thanks for the info. It looks interesting. Just to understand your suggestion. Do you meant that I should combine to element (clutch + Mechanical diode) by myself? I would prefer one single item that I can buy from the shelf.
Thanks
Ciao

A variation of this is what is often used on bicycles with coaster brakes (as GregLocock mentioned), except that the wrap spring is internal and forced to expand against a drum instead of being wrapped around the shaft as on the above site.
Engineering is not the science behind building. It is the science behind not building.

RE: One-way torque limiter?
sorry, I did not fully answer your question. Yes, I would use a combination of a one-way clutch (off-the-shelf) and torque limiter (off-the-shelf) which together would serve both functions; but the suggestions after mine may lead to simpler products. I haven't had the task of finding what you're looking for, so I was just offering different examples of one-way couplings (which do not have the torque limiting function).
