You're welcome! Good luck with your project.

In summary, the poster is looking for a way to limit the rotational motion of a shaft inside a cylinder without using MR fluid or needing electric power. Suggestions include using surface to surface friction or a torque limiter clutch with the output shaft fixed.

First time poster here, thanks in advance!

I have a project I'm working on, and I'm looking for a way to limit the rotational motion of a shaft inside a cylinder. The cylinder is fixed, and the shaft is spinning inside the cylinder coaxially. Basically, torque will be applied to the shaft, and I need the shaft to not spin relative to the cylinder until a specified torque, then it can "break free" and start to spin.

Anyone have a good idea on how to limit this motion? Surface to surface friction with known COFs and contact area? Hydraulically somehow?

I'd like to do it without the use of anything like MR fluid or needing electric power. Don't know if that's possible, but figured I'd throw it out here for some thought.

Thanks!

Like a torque limiter clutch with the output shaft fixed?: https://www.mayr.com/synchronisation/documentations/img_402_v09_en_22_05_2018.pdf

Ah, yup. Something just like that is what (I think) I'm after. Thanks!
