| Actuation & Control | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electrical | The device is actuated or controlled by electrical power. | ||
| Magnetic | The load is engaged, driven, or slowed by the application of a magnetic field. Primary technologies include hysteresis, eddy current, and magnetic particle configurations. | ||
| Mechanical | The device is mechanically-actuated. | ||
| Hydraulic | The device is actuated and controlled by hydraulic pressure. Hydraulic brakes and clutches are used in many industrial and automotive applications. | ||
| Pneumatic | The device is actuated or controlled by air pressure. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary clutch or brake technologies. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

Brake Construction

|
|
| ||
| Brake Engagement: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Noncontact | Braking action is achieved through a non-contact technology such as a magnetic field, eddy currents, etc. | ||
| Friction | Friction between contact surfaces transmits power. This is the most common type of brake. | ||
| Toothed | Toothed contact surfaces transmit power without slipping or heat generation. Teeth are engaged only when stopped or running at a slow speed (< 20 rpm). | ||
| Oil Shear | Braking action is engaged via the viscous action of the shearing of transmission fluid. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary brake engagement mechanisms. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
| ||
| Linear Force (if applicable): | The maximum thrust or linear force which the brake is rated to handle. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Features & Options
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Zero Backlash | There is no play or backlash during the engagement of the load and no load disengagement during a direction reversal. | ||
| Washdown Capable | The housing is rated for washdown cleaning. | ||
| Bi-directional | Devices can be set-up to rotate in either direction. | ||
| Automatic Re-engagement | The clutch re-engages the load when the torque drops to an acceptable level. | ||
| Slip Indication | Slip indication can move a pin radially when an overload occurs, or send an electrical signal to the drive motor. | ||
| Feedback | Feedback provides an electrical or electronic signal for monitoring parameters such as position, speed, torque, lockup, or slip status. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary features. | ||
