Low cost slip clutch
Low cost slip clutch for momentary and/or continuous slipping with a pre-set torque.
Key features
Accurate torque
Stable torque
Long operational life
Easy installation
No contamination
Product description
The drag torque on the low cost slip clutch 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.
Permanent magnets and magnetic particles transmit torque therefore wear is virtually eliminated. Units are provided pre-assembled to a specific torque range and are sealed preventing any particles from contaminating the machine.
These units are primarily used as paper feed separators such as those within copy machines, printers, ATM’s, card readers and mailing machines or other feed devices with low torque limiting requirements.
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.
Stable torque
Consistent torque is maintained because of the hysteresis principle and is consistent within allowable speed range.
Long operational life
Permanent magnets and magnetic particles transmit torque, therefore wear is virtually eliminated.
Easy installation
Units are provided pre-assembled to a specific torque range, so there is nothing to adjust.
No contamination
Units are sealed which prevents any particles from contaminating the machine, and also prevents contamination of the clutch by the machine environment.
