Cushioned Clutch enables higher machine speeds.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 07:40:33 -0600

In addition to overload protection, an increase in machine speed can be obtained by inserting slip clutch into system. Friction surfaces result in static friction being less than dynamic friction, which cushions suddenly applied loads. Tension on paper, wire film, and thread is gradually applied and is half of suddenly applied load. Machine itself will also be cushioned from shock, elongating life for parts and tooling.

Long Life Clutch employs wrap-spring technology that produces consistent and repeatable engagement timing. While clutch engagement time is proportional to relative speed, once spring has wrapped down, clutch output is brought up to full speed in as little as 3 msec. Disengagement is nearly instantaneous. Clutch's rating makes it suitable for automatic door systems, pump drive systems, and any equipment deploying intermittent rotary motion.
