Heavy Duty Clutch Mechanisms with Couplings

Operation

• Friction type heavy duty clutch mechanism engages with air pressure, spring released when air is exhausted
• Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied

Mounting

• Set screws and customer supplied key connect the heavy duty clutch mechanism to one shaft and the coupling hub to a fully supported second shaft
• Shafts must be accurately aligned to prevent premature failure
• Anti-rotation arm required to prevent rotation of the air housing
• Heavy duty clutch mechanisms are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options
• Note: Heavy Duty Clutch Mechanism DOES NOT support coupling

Applications

• Heavy duty clutch mechanisms are suitable for cycling applications connecting and disconnecting two fully supported shafts
• Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

• Both heavy duty clutch mechanism and coupling bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) to accept differing shaft sizes
• Splined drive and toothed friction discs for heavy duty service
• Available with either high or low* coefficient friction linings for same price
