Spring Assistance: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Spring Actuation / Engage | The device is spring-actuated and needs power to engage. | ||
Spring Return / Disengage | The spring provides return force and the device needs power to disengage. | ||
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. | ||
Clutch Engagement | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Noncontact | Devices use a noncontact technology such as a magnetic field or eddy currents to provide engagement and drive. | ||
Friction | Friction between contact surfaces transmits power. This is the most common configuration. | ||
Toothed | Toothed contact surfaces transmit power without slipping. No heat is generated. Devices are engaged only when stopped or running at a slow speed (< 20 rpm). | ||
Wrap Spring | Torque is transmitted from input to output by a coiled spring that wraps around the output element. The device is disengaged when the spring is uncoiled via a control tang at its end. | ||
Oil Shear | Drive engagement is achieved by the viscous shear of transmission fluid between the device's plates. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary clutch engagement mechanisms. | ||

Features & Options
Back to Top
Your choices are... | |||
Adjustable Torque | Adjustable torque is used primarily for slip clutches and torque limiters. Users can adjust the torque at which the clutch disengages or slips. | ||
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. | ||

Shaft Configuration: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
In-line | The clutch or brake shaft is along same axis as the driven or braked load. | ||
Parallel | The clutch or brake shaft is parallel, but offset from the axis of the driven or braked load. | ||
Right Angle | The clutch or brake axis is perpendicular to the axis of the load. | ||
Other | Other unlisted shaft alignments. | ||

Drive / Load Connection | |||
Your choices are... | |||
In-line Shafts | The drive and the load have shafts which attach to a through-bore. | ||
Through Shaft | The drive shaft attaches to a bore and the load is driven through the outer diameter. | ||
Shaft - Pulley / Gear / Sprocket | The drive shaft attaches to a bore and the output is a drive component such as a pulley, gear, or sprocket. These clutches are often designed to accept different drive components. | ||
Flange | The brake or clutch is mounted to the object in motion via a flange. | ||
Other | Other unlisted direct shaft attachments or flange mountings. | ||

Diameter | The diameter or cross-sectional width of the brake or clutch assembly. | ||
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. | ||
Length | The dimension along the axis of rotation. | ||
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. | ||
Weight | The weight of brake and/or clutch. | ||
