Clutches Offer Consistent Timing for Rotary Motion Control at an Economical Price
ST. PAUL, MN Â Compact electromechanical clutches from Reell Precision Manufacturing provide consistent timing for rotary motion control where cost is critical. The EC5, EC15, EC20 and EC30 clutches are designed for dependable operation and low power consumption in a variety of OEM applications including copiers, printers, paper-handling equipment, ticket and receipt dispensers, mailing equipment, and revolving media displays.
