GREAT LAKES INDUSTRY, INC.

Great Lakes Industry, Inc. is a manufacturer of mechanical power transmission components, specializing in torque limiters, sprockets, and bushings. The company's product line is designed for overload protection and rotary motion transmission in industrial machinery. Torque limiters from Great Lakes Industry are mechanical devices that disengage the drive when torque exceeds a set limit, thereby protecting equipment such as conveyors, pumps, and processing machinery from damage. These units are available in various bore diameters and torque ranges, with models like the 250, 350, 500, and 700 series offering torque capacities from 25 lb-ft to 620 lb-ft. The sprockets and bushings are manufactured to precise specifications, with teeth counts ranging from 20 to 29 and bore diameters from 1.374 inches to 2.631 inches, suitable for chain drive systems in conveyors and other industrial applications. 3G Electric supplies the Great Lakes Industry line as part of its global distribution of industrial equipment. The product range includes multiple torque limiter models and sprocket/bushing assemblies, each identified by manufacturer part numbers for accurate selection. Technical buyers can reference specifications such as bore diameter, torque range, number of teeth, and sprocket diameter to match components to their specific power transmission requirements. The torque limiters feature a no-teeth design for direct shaft mounting, while the sprockets are integral to chain-driven systems. This catalog provides access to these components with detailed specifications to support procurement and maintenance decisions.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor systems — Great Lakes Industry torque limiters (e.g., 350 x 1.250) protect against jam overloads.
  • Industrial pumps — 250 x .750 torque limiter disengages drive on torque spikes to prevent pump damage.
  • Processing equipment — 700 x 2.00 torque limiter provides overload protection for high-torque machinery.
  • Chain-driven conveyors — 250 TL 40A20 sprocket with 20 teeth transmits rotary motion in light-duty drives.
  • Material handling — 350 TL 50A26 sprocket with 26 teeth used in medium-duty chain drive systems.
  • Heavy-duty conveyors — 500 TL 50A29 sprocket with 29 teeth for high-torque power transmission applications.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GREAT LAKES INDUSTRY, INC. from 3G Electric.

What is the torque range of Great Lakes Industry torque limiters?

Great Lakes Industry torque limiters are available in several torque ranges depending on the model. The 250 series covers 25 lb-ft to 60 lb-ft and 30 lb-ft to 95 lb-ft. The 350 series covers 50 lb-ft to 120 lb-ft. The 500 series covers 90 lb-ft to 250 lb-ft. The 700 series covers 200 lb-ft to 620 lb-ft. These ranges allow selection based on the overload protection needs of the driven machinery.

What bore diameters are available for Great Lakes Industry torque limiters?

Great Lakes Industry torque limiters come in various bore diameters to fit different shaft sizes. Available bore diameters include 0.75 inches, 1 inch, 1.25 inches, and 2 inches. For example, the 250 x .750 model has a 0.75-inch bore, while the 700 x 2.00 model has a 2-inch bore. The bore diameter must match the shaft diameter for proper mounting and operation.

How do Great Lakes Industry sprockets differ in terms of teeth and bore?

Great Lakes Industry sprockets vary in teeth count and bore diameter to suit different chain drive configurations. The 250 TL 40A20 sprocket has 20 teeth and a 1.374-inch bore. The 350 TL 50A26 sprocket has 26 teeth and a 1.681-inch bore. The 500 TL 50A29 sprocket has 29 teeth and a 2.631-inch bore. Sprocket diameters range from 3.5 inches to 6.1 inches. These variations allow matching to specific chain sizes and speed ratios.

What are typical applications for Great Lakes Industry torque limiters?

Great Lakes Industry torque limiters are used to protect rotating machinery from overload damage. They disengage the drive when torque exceeds a set limit, preventing breakage of components. Typical applications include conveyors, pumps, and industrial processing equipment. They are suitable for any system where sudden jams or overloads could cause costly downtime or equipment failure.

Are Great Lakes Industry sprockets and bushings sold as assemblies?

Great Lakes Industry sprockets and bushings are often supplied as matched components. The sprocket and bushing are designed to work together, with the bushing facilitating mounting on the shaft. For example, the 250 TL 40A20 sprocket includes a bushing with a 1.374-inch bore. When ordering, verify that the sprocket and bushing part numbers correspond to the required shaft size and chain pitch.
