Designers and manufacturers of torque limiters since 1977
Howdon Power Transmission have been involved in the design and manufacture of torque limiters for over 40 years. We invented the revolutionary Wedgegard Shearpin Torque Limiter in 1977 to address demand for a simple solution to torque overload protection.
A torque limiter is a device that protects mechanical equipment, such as conveyors and pumps, from damage by jamming or overload.

Putting our torque limiters to the test
We have invested significantly in custom built static and dynamic test rigs to ensure that the Wedgepins break at their rated torque and within tolerance. This gives customers confidence in Howdon Wedgegard products.
