The article presents a development of new machine safety devices, which provide protection of operating elements from overload. Theoretical calculations have been made in order to determine the optimum design, kinematic and dynamic parameters of safety devices. A test bench has been developed and experimental investigations have been conducted in order to determine basic parameters of overload clutches.Keywords: safety devices; overload clutch; design and kinematic parameters; dynamic load; test bench; operating elements of machines. J -equivalent drive moment of inertia; 21 J -equivalent drive half coupling moment rtia; 22 J -equivalent driven half coupling moment of inertia; 3with a screw operating element drive has been developed ( Figure 3). This model is described by the following set of equations:

The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the process of moving bulk material in the inactive zone between hinged screw sections of a flexible screw conveyor. The influence of the gap between the edges of adjacent screw sections and the magnitude of their circular displacement on the process of continuous transportation of bulk material is presented. The results of theoretical and experimental studies are compared. This will allow choosing the optimal design, kinematic and technological parameters of the developed sectional screw working body when transporting bulk agricultural materials along curved paths, both in horizontal and inclined directions, as well as along curved paths.

The paper covers the results of the theoretical and experimental investigation of the developed sectional operating element of a flexible screw conveyer designed for transporting bulk agricultural materials. In order to determine the correlation between the design parameters of the hinged screw sections and the minimum permissible radius of curvature of a processing line, the analytical dependences have been deduced. The results of the experimental studies aimed at determining the efficiency of a screw conveyer and the level of the grain material damage depending on the change in design, kinematic and technological parameters of an operating element are presented.
