Study of a Torque Limiter Based on NiTi Pseudoelastic Tapes

Herein, a new torsional device based on shape memory alloy elements and operating as torque limiter is presented. It consists of set pseudoelastic NiTi tapes working in series configuration. The are assembled radially with respect to the rotational direction work sequentially beam‐like bending mode. trend resulting may span from pulsating continuous by changing number tapes. Furthermore, use material enables temperature‐dependent response. Due particular mounting, flag‐shaped mechanical behavior typical partially hidden; however, provides stable cyclic response possibility tune output torque.
