Clutch Engagement
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Noncontact
|
|
Devices use a noncontact technology such as a magnetic field or eddy currents to provide engagement and drive.
|
| |
Friction
|
|
Friction between contact surfaces transmits power. This is the most common configuration.
|
| |
Toothed
|
|
Toothed contact surfaces transmit power without slipping. No heat is generated. Devices are engaged only when stopped or running at a slow speed (< 20 rpm).
|
| |
Wrap Spring
|
|
Torque is transmitted from input to output by a coiled spring that wraps around the output element. The device is disengaged when the spring is uncoiled via a control tang at its end.
|
| |
Oil Shear
|
|
Drive engagement is achieved by the viscous shear of transmission fluid between the device's plates.
|
| |
Plate / Disc
|
|
The torque level is controlled by compression springs which force plates together.
|
| |
Ball Detent
|
|
Ball detent is a slip mechanism in which, upon overload, balls ride up out of seats to overcome springs or air pressure engagement.
|
| |
Roller Detent
|
|
Rollers, held in place by springs, wedge between the inner and outer races to engage the clutch.
|
| |
Pawl Detent
|
|
Pawl detent is a slip clutch mechanism in which, upon overload, the pawl overcomes spring or air pressure engagement and rotates out of its detent.
|
| |
Sprag
|
|
Sprags are steel wedges that tip in one direction to wedge between inner and outer races. They can be configured with either the inner or outer race as the input or output. Too much torque makes the sprags tip so much that contact is not maintained. Often, sprag clutches can transmit more torque than other designs of slip or overrunning clutches.

Magnetic Clutch Type
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Permanent Magnet
|
|
Permanent magnets can be used in different ways. Some are used to provide engagement or disengagement actuation force. Others provide the magnetic field for hysteresis. Because they do not use electrical power, permanent magnet clutches are often used in situations that require greater levels of safety.
|
| |
Electromagnetic
|
|
Electromagnetic clutches use a coil which, when energized, creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature toward the rotor. Once in mechanical contact, the rotor turns at the same rate as the armature and affects the drive. When unpowered, the armature retreats back to an air gap from the rotor.
|
| |
Hysteresis
|
|
Hysteresis uses noncontact magnetic fields to apply resistance or engage load rotation. Torque loading may be applied independently of shaft speed. The magnetic torque is frictionless because the magnetic flux field operates in the air gap between the rotor and the stationary poles. Brakes and clutches that use hysteresis are suitable for precision tensioning and holdback applications where close braking control is important, or when variable clutch engagement of a load is required.
|
| |
Eddy Current
|
|
Eddy current products use a magnetic field to induce eddy currents in the load. The load engagement, whether actuation (clutch) or slowing (brake), can be precisely controlled by controlling the magnetic field. Because no surfaces come into physical contact, there is no mechanical wear. Most eddy current devices are used in low-power applications.
|
| |
Magnetic Particle
|
|
Magnetic particle products have a layer of fine particles between the stator and rotor. An input current to the stator coil creates a magnetic field that lines up the particulate to provide load engagement (clutches) or slowing (brakes). The coupling torque is controlled directly by the magnetic field that is created by the input current. Magnetic particle brakes provide good control and a wide range of holding torque at any speed.

Brake Operation:
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Spring Actuation / Engage
|
|
The spring engages during operation and requires power to disengage. Spring-actuated brakes are also called power-off brakes, fail-safe brakes, and safety brakes.
|
| |
Spring Return / Disengage
|
|
The brakes need power to engage. A spring is used to disengage the brake. Spring-return brakes are also called power-on brakes and non-fail-safe brakes.

Magnetic Brake Type
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Permanent Magnet
|
|
The brake uses a permanent magnet and features a power-off or fail-safe design since electrical power is not required.
|
| |
Electromagnetic
|
|
Electromagnetic brakes use a coil that, when energized, creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature of the rotating part toward the brake face. Once in mechanical contact, the rotor slows down and stops quickly. When unpowered, the rotor retreats to an air gap from the brake face.
|
| |
Hysteresis
|
|
Hysteresis products use noncontact magnetic fields to apply resistance to or engagement of load rotation. The torque loading may be applied independently of shaft speed. The magnetic torque is frictionless. The magnetic flux field operates in the air gap between the rotor and the stationary poles. Hysteresis brakes are used in precision tensioning and holdback applications where close braking control is important, or where variable clutch engagement of load is required.
|
| |
Eddy Current
|
|
Eddy current technology uses a magnetic field that causes eddy currents in the load. The load engagement, whether actuation (clutch) or slowing (brake), can be precisely controlled by controlling the magnetic field. Because no surfaces are in physical contact, there is mechanical wear. Eddy current brakes are used primarily in low-power applications.
|
| |
Magnetic Particle
|
|
Magnetic particle products incorporate a layer of fine particles between the stator and rotor. An input current to the stator coil creates a magnetic field that lines up the particulate to provide load engagement (clutches) or slowing (brakes).

|
| |
Cone
