Electric Brake and Clutch Assemblies
Electric brake and clutch assemblies consist of elements for both the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) and for the slowing or stopping of shafts (brake) in equipment drives.
Torque Limiters and Slip Clutches
Torque limiters and slip clutches automatically slip or disengage the clutch at a predetermined torque.
Electric Brakes
Electric brakes are assemblies consisting of electrical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Electrical power is required to activate the brake.
