Soft Start Control allows clutch to safely slip.
Intended- for gas and diesel engines, Softstart Control option senses exact point at which friction surfaces contact, then rapidly reduces current to level that allows clutch to safely slip, but not release. Controller uses engine rpm feedback to- adjust clutch current in manner that drives engine rpm to fit desired profile. By allowing for smooth engagement, control minimizes shock in system...

Permanent Magnet Brake operates in temperatures to 140
Featuring 17 mm max bore and 8,000 rpm max rating, 0.85 lb model PMB-06 comes standard with armature/hub and 24v coil but can be modified to specification. Size and 6.6 lb-ft of static torque make this brake suitable for medical and other portable applications. When brakes are released, airgap is present that completely releases armature for zero drag. Zero backlash suits servo and precision...

Electric Clutches Reduce Energy and Increase Pump Life
Ogura's electromagnetic clutches are designed to provide a quick engagement and disengagement of hydraulic and other pumps used on gas and diesel engines. Clutches are mounted between the engine and the pump and are made for either a belt input or direct drive via a universal joint flange. Clutches are available in 200, 400, 1,000 and 1,500 lb-ft. All clutches use a bidirectional armature so they...

New Thinner Spring Applied Brake Series - MCNB
The small spring applied brake series from Ogura (models MCNB 2, 5, and 10) have been redesigned and will now have a thinner profile. The brakes overall reduction in thickness is around 30%. Advances in friction material have allowed the brakes to maintain their same torque rating while eliminating the need for higher force springs and a correspondently higher wattage coil. The new thinner spring...
Read More »Electric Clutches Improve Safety and Efficiency
Ogura general purpose clutches are being used more frequently on a variety of mobile and light construction equipment. Clutches are available in 3 torque ranges of 100 lb-ft, 250 lb-ft, and 350 lb-ft. Clutches are made to mount on standard engine shafts of 1 , 1 1/8 , 1 -¼ and 1 7/16 and are normally suited for engines from 14hp to 35hp and speeds up to 4,000RPM. Electric clutches are normally...

Double Brake Design improves commercial elevator safety.
Double MNB brake for commercial elevators consists of 2 identical brakes mounted on one adaptor flange. Since brakes are holding only, both operate simultaneously when required to come on. If problem occurs with one brake, other can still handle torque load required. Both brakes are equipped with limit switches to know when brake is either engaged or disengaged. Product helps meet demands in...

High Cycle Clutch/Brake
MP units are made for every quick and precise cycling applications. Units include a low voltage clutch and a brake to start and stop a load. All units maintain a consistent air gap, even thought units wear, which controls engagement time.

Electric Clutches Run Components from Gas Engines
These clutches are made to mount eight onto an engine shaft and take the vibration and temperature from small gas engines or diesel engines. Clutches can then either drive customer's components directly or through a belt. A variety of pulleys already exist, however, custom designs are also possible.

Single Piece Clutch or Brake Available
To reduce assembly time of sub components for machinery manufacturers Ogura has developed bearing mounted clutch and brake assemblies that can be shipped as one piece, so no assembly or adjustment is required. Universal mount types come with a flange for a customer to mount their own sprocket or pulley, however if desired units can also be designed to come with a clutch output.

Forced Air Cooling Doubles Heat Dissipation
January 25, 2008 Ogura's larger series of magnetic particle clutches and brakes (starting at 9lbs-ft up to 150 lbs-ft) are available with forced air cooling for increased heat dissipation. All units come standard with input and output connections so shop air can be easily used to help cool units to increase life and performance. Ogura products are manufactured in Europe, North and South America...
