Operation
Air pressure compresses drive and friction discs to produce torque.
Release springs provide positive disengagement when air is exhausted.
Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied.
Mounting
Standard Series Through Shaft Mount
Through/Mid Shaft or End Shaft.
Clutch slides on shaft and is fixed with set screws and a customer supplied key.
Anti-rotation arm required to prevent rotation of the air housing.
Friction clutches are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options.
Applications
Friction clutches are suitable for Connect/Disconnect and Cycling applications.
Maximum RPM varies by model.
Design Features
Industrial friction clutches are bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) for easy installation.
Low coefficient friction lining versions are available for applications requiring slip or a narrower torque range. Contact engineering for details.
Machined pilot for easy mounting of pulley or sprocket.
