Friction clutch HC series

hysteresiselectromagneticmechanical

Hysteresis clutch for industrial application. Torque is independent of slip speed and can be easily controlled by varying the current. Since there is no frictional contact between the magnets, the units have an extremely wide torque range and are ideally suited for testing machinery and/or application that are required to produce consistent and smooth torque over a wide range. FAST RESPONSE The torque of H series electromagnetic hysteresis clutches and brakes is independent of slip speed. Torque is directly proportionate to coil current, thus the torque of each unit can be adjusted by varying the current. Once the current is stable, the torque remains constant. LONG LIFE The H series produces drag torque without physical contact (friction) of parts and are not subject to wear (except the normal wear of antifriction bearings). REPEATABILITY The H series will always duplicate performance under identical operating conditions. SMOOTH OPERATION The H series does not utilize mechanical friction, therefore operation is smooth at any slip speed. EASY MOUNTING Mounting is effortless - no adjustments to make, no gaps to set. The H series may be mounted in the horizontal or vertical position.
