Air Engaged Clutches - NEMA Frame

Air Engaged Clutches – NEMA Frame

C-Face Mounted Friction Clutches

Function: Connect, Disconnect
Drive Arrangement: Motor to Gear Reducer (Gear Box)

Operation

  • Air pressure compresses drive and friction discs to produce torque.
  • Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied.
  • Release springs provide positive disengagement when air is exhausted.

Mounting

  • Mounts between a c-face motor and gear reducer.
  • Not suitable for belt drive (pulley output) applications.
  • Designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options.

Applications

  • Air engaged friction clutches are suitable for connect/disconnect, cycling applications.
  • Maximum RPM varies by model and is listed on the PDF detail sheet (see table below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

  • Air engaged clutches are made-to-order with any bore size up to the maximum shown for easy installation.
  • Models listed have enclosed, aluminum housings.
  • Clear anodized and stainless housing versions are also available. Contact engineering for details.
