Operation
Friction clutch coupling engages with air pressure, spring released when air is exhausted.
Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied.
Mounting
Set screws and customer supplied key connect the clutch mechanism to one shaft and the coupling hub to a second, fully supported shaft.
Anti-rotation arm required to prevent rotation of the air housing.
Clutch couplings are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options.
Note: Clutch coupling mechanism DOES NOT support flexible coupling half.
Applications
Flexible clutch couplings connect/disconnect two fully supported shafts.
Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.
Design Features
Elastomeric element compensates for up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment and up to 0.040 parallel offset between shafts.
Both clutch mechanism and coupling bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) to accept differing shaft sizes.
Low coefficient friction lining versions are available for applications requiring slip or a narrower torque range. Contact engineering for details.C2H2R-STH C3H2R-STH C4H2R-STH C5H2R-STH C5H2K-STH C6H2G-STH C6H2K-STH
