Friction clutch OPL series

hysteresiselectromagneticmagnetic

Low cost slip clutch design for momentary and/or continuous slipping. Torque is produced magnetically eliminating the possibility of high break away torque that occurs within typical friction devices. Torque is consistent over a given speed range. Units are sealed so that internal particles cannot contaminate machine likewise external particles cannot contaminate the OPLs. Units are supplied with stainless steel shafts, which can be customized to meet your needs. (The OPR units are hollow bore mounted.) ACCURATE TORQUE The drag torque is produced by means of a hysteresis principle. This allows for constant torque levels and eliminates the possibility of high break away torque that occurs with typical friction devices. LONG OPERATIONAL LIFE Permanent magnets and magnetic particles transmit toque, therefore, wear is virrutally eliminated. AVAILABLE IN TWO TYPES The standard OPL units (N type) come with an integral shaft. This shaft can be lengthened, shortened or adapted to suit a customer's requirements, such as D cuts, snap ring grooves and others. The shaft material is 400 series stainless steel. The second option if for OPL units to be supplied with a thru-bore (R type). Smaller bore units are available in 6mm and 8mm, larger units are only available with an 8mm bore. STABLE TORQUE A virtual consistent torque is maintained because of the hysteresis principle and is consistent within allowable speed range.
