Through Shaft, Ball Bearing Pilot Mount Industrial Friction Clutches Operation Industrial friction clutch engages with air pressure, spring released when air is exhausted Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied Mounting Through/Mid Shaft or End Shaft Friction clutch slides on shaft and is fixed with set screws and a customer supplied key Anti-rotation arm required to prevent rotation of the air housing Friction Clutches are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options Applications Friction clutches are suitable for Connect/Disconnect and Cycling applications Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM. Design Features Industrial friction clutches are bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) for easy installation Available with either high or low* coefficient friction linings for same price Machined pilot for easy mounting of pulley or sprocket

*Low coefficient lining models are offered for applications where a small amount of slip is required or a narrower torque range is necessary. For continuous slip or tension control applications, a SensiFlex® clutch should be used.

Mach III industrial friction clutch units are solidly constructed and feature hang-up resistant drives to provide reliable power transmission. The clutch pilot is machined for easy mounting of a sprocket or pulley in the field, or, Mach III can provide the sprocket, pulley or v-belt sheave pre-mounted on the industrial friction clutch when it ships from our factory. Friction clutch models can be adapted to accommodate customer needs. See our Custom Design Solutions page for more information. Mach III encourages contact with our engineering department before purchasing an industrial friction clutch for use in a new or retrofit application.
