About

Mach III designs and manufactures quality industrial air and spring set friction clutches and brakes, combination clutch-brakes and mechanical torque limiters in a wide array of sizes, torque capacities and mounting configurations. Their products are used to connect and disconnect, stop, hold, tension and protect machine components from overload. Mach III components are found in label printing presses, packaging machines, medical device and food processing equipment, accumulating conveyors, laminators, glass tempering furnaces, thermoforming equipment and hundreds of other types of machinery operating around the globe.

Mach III regularly modifies existing models and creates entirely unique products to suit unique application needs while maintaining reasonable prices and lead times and with no minimum quantity requirement. Both catalog and custom models are bored and keyed to customer specs eliminating the need for bushings or shaft modification. Required sprockets, pulleys and sheaves are pilot mounted at the factory for true out-of-the-box installation readiness.

Mach III provides factory direct engineering support to assist you in selecting a product that will meet the demands of your application.
