Air Engaged Clutches – Through Shaft
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 – THROUGH SHAFT
Through Shaft Bored, Pilot Mount Friction Clutches
Function: Connect, Disconnect (Cycling Applications)
Drive Arrangement: Pilot Mounted Component to Shaft or Shaft to Pilot Mounted Component
- Bore Sizes to 3.500 inch, Torque Requirements to 21,204 lb.in.
- Clutch is through bored and keyed for connection to a shaft in any axial location.
- A sprocket, pulley or v-belt sheave can be mounted on the clutch pilot.
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
Through/Mid Shaft or End Shaft.
Friction 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. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.
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.
