An overload protection system and method of protecting a drive unit inclu des a torque arm assembly (12) mounted to a fixture (22) an a gear reducer ( 17). The reducer (17) includes a bracket (30) mounted to an axle of the redu cer (17) which is positioned adjacent to a measuring device (34). The torque arm assembly (12) includes a switch (34) mounted to sense a location of the reducer bracket (30) relative to the switch (34) thereby causing a conditio n of the drive unit to be adjusted In the preferred embodiment, the switch ( 34) is proximity switch positioned adjacent to the bracket (30) of the reduc er (17) after a desired preset torque of the torque arm is obtained through the use of a simple fastener and spring (18) arranged in a housing (14).</SD OAB> |
