Small clutches for use in copy machines, printers, and other peripheral devices. This one-piece assembly features a custom-molded gear or timing pulley designed to your specifications. Most clutches use a permanent magnet to disengage the armature when it is not in use. All clutches are bi-directional. A three pronged dog bone output is also available.
CUSTOM MOLDED GEAR
The MIC assembly includes a custom-molded gear or timing pulley designed to your specifications.
ONE PIECE ASSEMBLY
The entire assembly is delivered pre-assembled, so it simply slides onto the shaft. There are no adjustments to make or gaps to set.
BI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATION
The clutch has the ability to drive clockwise or counterclockwise.
PERMANENT MAGNET RETURN
All standard units come with a permanent magnet armature return attached to the inside of the gear. This provides a fast and smooth disengagement of the armature when power is released to the clutch coil.
ZERO BACKLASH
If needed the armature can incorporate a one-piece spring that eliminates backlash.
LONG LIFE
Special bushings allow for millions of operating cycles for most applications.
D-CUT BORE
The bore of the clutch is made to fit a D-cut shaft to simplify installation and eliminate the need for set screws.
TWO CLUTCH POWER CONNECTION OPTIONS AVAILABLE
MIC clutches can come complete with a lead wire and a customer's specified terminal or the standard connector built into the clutch coil housing.
