EN 5344 Torque Limiting Triangular Knobs Technopolymer Plastic, with Steel Tapped Insert

Torque limiting triangular knobs EN 5344 are used when the manually applied torque is to be limited.

When turned clockwise, the torque mechanism of the triangular knob triggers an “over-engagement” as soon as the specified torque is reached. When tightening, this ensures that the maximum permissible torque is not exceeded. When turned counter-clockwise, the torque necessary for release will always be transmitted properly.

Endurance tests have shown that the torque does not change even after up to 60,000 tightening cycles.
