3 Common Types of Industrial Clutches & Brakes
Maximizing the efficiency and safety of your industrial manufacturing equipment depends a great deal on high-quality industrial clutches and brakes. To meet the needs of users in a variety of applications, modern component manufacturers provide an extensive array of parts, some of which can be custom-tailored to your unique needs.
Industrial Component Sales, with offices in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, offers a broad inventory of industrial clutches and brakes from Carlyle Johnson Machine, including:
- Multiple Disc Electric Clutches: Today's industrial manufacturers rely heavily on high quality, multiple disc clutches to keep their equipment running properly. Their durability and power make these components perfect for equipment such as medical, machine tool and food packaging machinery.
- Multiple Disc Mechanical Brakes: These advanced components feature additional separator springs between the inner discs, creating brakes that generate very little heat, drag, or abrasion in the neutral position. When engaged, multi-disc mechanical brakes are capable of producing three to six times the torque of a traditional single-disc unit.
- Torque Limiters: A torque limiter is a clutch that is continuously engaged, delivering maximum power up to a certain setting. When that threshold is reached, the clutch slips, preventing the torque generated from exceeding the capabilities of the equipment. They are typically used to connect two separate rotating components, such as gears, fans, and gearboxes.
