Machine Spares & Clutches

Nomenclature & Clutch Types

  • Electromagnetic Clutch (single-disc, multi-disc, magnetic-particle)
  • Mechanical Clutch (friction, dog, cone, centrifugal)
  • Toothed Clutch / Brake
  • Electromagnetic Brake
  • Telescopic Brush Assembly
  • Mechanical Clutch Plate
  • Industrial Brake Liner

Materials, Standards & Build Quality

  • High-chrome alloy steels, e‑coat & epoxy‑sealed coils for corrosion resistance
  • Heat treated 58‑60 HRC friction surfaces; precision-ground for low backlash
  • Electromagnetic clutches designed per ISO / DIN torque & durability specs
  • Telescopic brush assemblies: carbon or copper‑graphite with spring tension per IEC standards

Selection & Ordering Guide

To choose the right clutch or spare, specify the following: torque rating, engagement response time, actuation method (electrical, mechanical), backlash tolerance, mounting style, rotational speed & expected duty cycle.

Provide application context (e.g., conveyor, packaging, lathe, HVAC), environmental conditions (temperature, corrosive atmosphere), and control interface (remote/electrical, mechanical lever, pneumatic).

  • Order example: “Electromagnetic clutch – single-disc, 12 VDC, 200 Nm, flange mount, epoxy‑sealed coil.”
  • Order example: “Mechanical safety clutch – torque-limiting, 150 Nm slip torque, in‑line mount.”

Description & Key Features

We manufacture high-precision machine spares and clutch systems engineered to order—available in electromechanical, friction, and toothed variants.

Electromagnetic clutches offer remote operation, fast smooth engagement, energy efficiency (only energized during engagement), and minimal backlash—widely used in packaging, manufacturing, HVAC, and printing :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

Mechanical clutches (friction, dog, cone types) provide robust service, inexpensive design, reliable zero-slip engagement, and optional overload protection via torsional limiters :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.

  • Toothed clutches: precise indexing, 100 % torque transfer, up to ~2200 Nm capability :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
  • Magnetic-particle clutches: smooth torque control, fast response, ideal for web tension systems :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
  • High-temp grease, e-coated rotors, and epoxy coils standard on EM clutches, rated 12 V & 24 V options :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Applications & Industry Use Cases

Our spares and clutches cater to industries like metalworking, material handling, packaging, food processing, HVAC, robotics, and automotive :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

Electromagnetic clutches commonly power AC compressors, conveyors, copy/printer registration units, and machine spindles :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Magnetic-particle variants are used in paper-mill roll tensioners and gym equipment to manage variable torque and protect motors :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Burnish new electromagnetic clutches by cycling engagement slightly above rated torque until torque stabilizes (~70‑100 cycles) to maximize friction surface contact :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.

Over-excitation can speed up response time—brief coil current up to 3× normal voltage shortens actuation time by ~⅓—but must avoid coil overheating :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.

Regular inspection recommended: check for wear debris, ensure coil insulation integrity, clean air gaps, re‑torque fasteners, and apply high‑temperature greases as specified.

Advantages & Limitations

  • Electromagnetic: fast remote control, low backlash, efficient;
  • Toothed: precise timing, full torque transfer;
  • Mechanical: durable, zero-slip, cost-effective;
  • Magnetic-particle: smooth slip control, overload protection.

Challenges: EM clutches can overheat under continuous engagement, have higher upfront cost, and may generate EMI; toothed types aren’t ideal for high-RPM engagement; magnetic-particle options are more expensive.
