Need help coupling two parallel shafts? Electromate offers a full family of Power-On Clutches

October 15, 2019

Power-on Clutches are used to couple two parallel shafts. The armature hub assembly is mounted to the same shaft as the rotor assembly. The armature hub accommodates a pulley, gear, sprocket, etc., to transmit torque to the second shaft. The field assembly is mounted on the shaft and retained by a loose-fitting pin or bracket through the anti-rotation tab.

Typical Applications of Clutches include:

Packaging Machinery

Medical Equipment

Conveyors

Postal Sorters/Readers

Document Feeders

Textile Equipment

Mobile Power Equipment

Copiers/Printers

Electromate offers a full family of Power-On Clutches, from Inertia Dynamics, for most applications.  All Inertia Dynamics clutches are recognized by Underwriters Laboratories to both U.S. and Canadian safety requirements.

Information on the Power-On Clutches from Inertia Dynamics can be viewed at: https://www.electromate.com/products/power-transmission-mechanical-products/clutches/
