Adjustable Torque Limiter
An adjustable torque limiter is a safety device used in mechanical systems to prevent overloading by limiting the amount of torque transmitted. It protects equipment from damage and ensures smooth operation by automatically disengaging or slipping when torque exceeds a set limit.

Adjustable Torque Limiter
Adjustable torque limiters are essential components in drilling and industrial applications, designed to protect machinery and downhole tools from excessive torque. By allowing operators to set a specific torque threshold, these devices help prevent overloading and potential damage to equipment. Torque limiters play a critical role in enhancing operational safety, improving equipment longevity, and minimizing downtime in challenging environments.
Toolserv Adjustable Torque Limiter (ATL)
The Toolserv Adjustable Torque Limiter (ATL) is an advanced swivel that stands out due to its unique torque-activated mechanism. Unlike standard swivels, the ATL engages only when a predetermined torque limit is reached. Once engaged, it allows the upper drill string to rotate independently of the lower string, preventing excess torque from being transmitted further downhole. This innovative design ensures optimal protection of high-value equipment in extended reach drilling (ERD) and other high-torque applications.
The ATL’s adjustable torque settings provide flexibility to suit various operational conditions, making it a reliable solution for complex well operations. By effectively mitigating torque-related risks, Toolserv’s ATL helps operators maintain control, reduce wear and tear, and ensure smoother drilling performance.
