Foot Mount Tension Control Clutches - Mach III

Operation

Friction clutch engages with air pressure and is designed for continuous slip.
Clutch is spring released when air is exhausted.
Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied.

Mounting

Foot brackets attach to machine frame or other fixture.
Pulleys or sprockets mount to the clutch’s input and output shafts.
Designed for horizontal or vertical mounting.

Applications

For tension control applications requiring input and output shaft connections.
Clutch drives output shaft when engaged.
Input shaft and cooling sleeve rotate at the speed of the drive input.
Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

Exclusive, patented actuator engages smoothly at low pressures and provides maximum sensitivity to slight changes in air pressure for infinite control of torque output.
Radial cooling holes pull cooler, ambient air through the clutch or brake to dissipate the heat generated by constant slip, preventing friction lining fade and premature wear.

Customization Options

All Mach III products can be customized to meet the needs of your application.
