Air Engaged Clutches – NEMA Frame
AIR AND SPRING ENGAGED FRICTION CLUTCHES
Available with either air or spring engagement and in an array of mounting options, friction clutches from Mach III transmit torque from one drive train component to another. They are used to connect and disconnect machine components.
AIR ENGAGED CLUTCHES – NEMA FRAME
C-Face Mounted Friction Clutches
Function: Connect, Disconnect
Drive Arrangement: Motor to Gear Reducer (Gear Box)
Clutch input is bored and keyed to connect to a NEMA frame motor.
Clutch output shaft with key connects to a NEMA frame gear reducer.
Operation
Air pressure compresses drive and friction discs to produce torque.
Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied.
Release springs provide positive disengagement when air is exhausted.
Mounting
Mounts between a c-face motor and gear reducer.
Not suitable for belt drive (pulley output) applications.
Designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options.
Applications
Air engaged friction clutches are suitable for connect/disconnect, cycling applications.
Maximum RPM varies by model and is listed on the PDF detail sheet (see table below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.
Design Features
Air engaged clutches are made-to-order with any bore size up to the maximum shown for easy installation.
Models listed have enclosed, aluminum housings.
Clear anodized and stainless housing versions are also available. Contact engineering for details.
