Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An overload device in an output gear box of a high speed turbine engine protects the output gears and shaft system of the turbine against damage due to instantaneous high loads imposed on the turbine as, for example, high loads due to out-of-phase paralleling of a generator. The device comprises interleaved friction discs normally compressed together under a predetermined load by a plurality of springbiased clamping bars. When the torque load on the friction discs exceeds a predetermined amount, the discs will slip whereby the torque overload is alleviated.
