SOFT START COUPLINGS AND CLUTCHES |
| |
| Hydrastart |
|
|
A fluid coupling suitable for
soft starting high inertia machinery with reduced current demand,
controlled acceleration and torque with drive overload protection.
|
|
| Features : |
| • |
Fluid soft start available up
to 700kW |
| • |
Flexible coupling and vee pulley
designs as standard for design flexibility. |
|
| • |
Soft start allows the motor to accelerate
on low load |
| • |
Allows standard squirrel cage motors |
| • |
Delay fill version extends acceleration
time and reduces start up torque |

|
| Air Clutch |
|
|
Anti-runback
clutch used on holdback, indexing and over running applications.
| Features : |
| • |
No backlash, giving positive
action. |
| • |
Long life means low maintenance costs. |
| • |
Enhanced performance from optimized sprag
profile design. |
| • |
Compact design, yet high torque. |
| • |
Interchangeability means no re-engineering.

|
|
Sprag Clutch |
|
|
 |
Air operated,
disconnecting clutches available as elements only or as coupling drive
package.\
| Features : |
| • |
Constricting and
expanding types activated by standard factory air supply |
|
| • |
Clutch or brake types available
for flexible design choice. |
|
| • |
Air flow control allowing reaction
time to be adjusted, therefore protecting all machinery types.

Sprag Clutch Coupling
Two versions available using Pinflex
and Gearflex coupling for total flexibility on shaft to shaft transmission
drives.
|
|
| • |
SO series clutch combined with
Pinflex coupling allowing for angular, parallel and axial misalignment. |
| • |
Absorbs vibration and shock loads. |
| • |
SO series clutch with two flexible
half Gearflex coupling forming a short cardan shaft accommodating
parallel and angular misalignment. |
|
| • |
Flexible shaft connection for overrunning
barring drive applications |
| • |
Grease lubricated clutch used
as standard for high overrunning speeds and infrequent maintenance. |
|
| • |
Allows larger shaft sizes to be used. |
| |
|
| Construction: |
| • |
Pinflex clutch uses all steel coupling half
bodies for compactness combined with strength |
| • |
Gearflex clutch uses all steel double engagement
coupling for maximum flexibility |
| |
|
| Application: |
| • |
Barring drives |
| • |
Dual drive systems- overrunning |
| • |
Power generator sets |
| • |
Packing machinery |
| • |
Textile industries |
| • |
Fan drives |
| • |
Steel works |
| • |
Mining industries |
| • |
General industrial application |
