Clutch Specifications

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. | ||
Plate / Disc | The torque level is controlled by compression springs which force plates together. | ||
Ball Detent | Ball detent is a slip mechanism in which, upon overload, balls ride up out of seats to overcome springs or air pressure engagement. | ||
Roller Detent | Rollers, held in place by springs, wedge between the inner and outer races to engage the clutch. | ||
Pawl Detent | Pawl detent is a slip clutch mechanism in which, upon overload, the pawl overcomes spring or air pressure engagement and rotates out of its detent. | ||
Sprag | Sprags are steel wedges that tip in one direction to wedge between inner and outer races. They can be configured with either the inner or outer race as the input or output. Too much torque makes the sprags tip so much that contact is not maintained. Often, sprag clutches can transmit more torque than other designs of slip or overrunning clutches. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary clutch engagement mechanisms. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
