Starting & Stopping Applications
The products featured below are combination clutch-brakes which provide both clutch and brake functions in one unit. Applying air pressure releases the spring applied friction brake and engages the friction clutch allowing power to be transmitted from a source, such as a continuously rotating motor, to a machine component, such as a shaft. Clutch torque is proportional to air pressure. In the absence of air pressure, torque is no longer transmitted and the driven component is held stationary. Brake torque is a fixed value.
Stop & Start the Shaft
Stop & Start the Shaft clutch-brakes are for use when sprocket or pulley mounted on the pilot of the unit will be connected to a continuous drive. When the clutch is engaged, the shaft on which the unit is mounted will be driven. The shaft will be held stationary when the brake is engaged.
Stop & Start the Pilot
Stop & Start the Pilot clutch-brakes are for use when the shaft on which the unit is mounted will be continuously driven. When the clutch is engaged, a sprocket or pulley mounted on the pilot of the unit will be driven. The sprocket or pulley will be held stationary when the brake is engaged.
Stop & Start the Output Shaft
NEMA Frame models are for use when the input shaft (from a motor) will be continuously driven. When the clutch is engaged, the output shaft is driven. When the brake is engaged, the output shaft is held stationary.
