Mach III stop and start the pilot clutch-brakes transmit rotary motion from a constantly rotating shaft on which it is mounted, to the sprocket, pulley or other component that is installed on the precision machined pilot on the sleeve. When motion is not required, the clutch-brake stops and holds the pilot mounted component stationary. This… Read more »

How It Works: Air/Spring Stop and Start the Shaft Clutch-Brake
Mach III stop and start the shaft clutch-brakes transmit rotary motion from a constantly rotating machine component that is connected to the unit’s pilot by a chain, belt or other means to the shaft on which it is mounted. When motion is not required, the clutch-brake stops and holds the shaft stationary. This model requires… Read more »
How It Works: Air/Air Stop and Start the Shaft Clutch-Brake
Mach III pneumatic clutch-brakes transmit rotary motion from a constantly rotating shaft to a shaft that is required to rotate intermittently. When motion is not required, the clutch-brake holds the shaft stationary. This model requires two separate air signals; one to supply air pressure to energize the clutch and another to supply air pressure to… Read more »
How It Works: Air Engaged Friction Brake
Mach III pneumatic brakes are designed to perform two functions: dynamic braking (bringing a rotary load to a stop) and holding (preventing the rotation of a load). This type of brake is engaged with air pressure and is positively disengaged by spring pressure when air pressure is absent. BASIC CONNECTION The DRIVE HUB slides over… Read more »
How It Works: Mechanical Friction Torque Limiter
Mach III friction torque limiters are always engaged and transmit a fixed amount of torque from one component to another. They protect the drive and driven components from damage in the event of a torque overload by slipping, so that the amount of torque transmitted from one component to the other does not exceed the… Read more »
How It Works: Spring Engaged Friction Clutch
Mach III spring applied clutches transmit rotary motion from a shaft which rotates constantly to a shaft that is only required to rotate intermittently. This type of clutch remains constantly engaged in the absence of air pressure. BASIC CONNECTION The DRIVE HUB slides over the SHAFT. The drive hub includes a keyway which corresponds to… Read more »
How It Works: Air Engaged Friction Clutch
Mach III pneumatic clutches transmit rotary motion from a shaft which rotates constantly to a shaft that is only required to rotate intermittently. This type of clutch is engaged with air pressure and is positively disengaged by spring pressure when air pressure is absent. BASIC CONNECTION Either the SHAFT on which the clutch is mounted or another… Read more »
How It Works: Spring Engaged Friction Brake
Mach III spring applied brakes remain energized in the absence of air pressure. They are sometimes referred to as power-off brakes and are best suited for applications in which they are used to prevent the rotary motion of a load (holding). BASIC CONNECTION The DRIVE HUB slides over the SHAFT. The drive hub includes a… Read more »
