Clutches & Brakes

Centric HOR overload clutch provides torque protection from bottle and can filling, capping and labeling mis-feeds which can cause damage to a starwheel or drive mechanism causing unplanned expenses due to downtime and unscheduled maintenance. Centric overload clutches limit torque to a preset level and provide the rotational timing necessary for these types of applications while extending machine life, reducing maintenance costs and increasing productivity.

Warner Electric power-take-off (PTO) clutches and clutch/brakes provide an efficient and reliable means to control mechanical power delivery to various implements. Models are available with torque capacities ranging from 60 lb-ft to 1,650 lb-ft. Their electric operation simplifies installation and allows for remote activation. Most models also feature an optional braking function for quicker stopping of rotating implements. Additionally, models with torque capacities between 250 lb-ft and 1,650 lb-ft are available as a packaged clutch and SAE bell housing assembly.

Centrifugal clutches were originally used as soft start clutches and are often used on high inertia type applications. The starting torque required for heavy equipment can cause torque spikes that shorten the life of motors, speed reducers and other drive train components. Spring loaded centrifugal clutches can be designed to engage at a specific RPM offering a warm-up period for engines and turbines. These clutches are often used on back-up generators or “stand by” type systems because time has no effect. Centrifugal clutches are a time tested method of starting heavy rotating equipment with ease.

These brakes utilize our proprietary nonstick friction materials. In addition to its standard configuration, it is also available with high torque and high energy friction materials depending on the needs of the application. The electromagnetic coil can be designed for single or dual voltage and comes with a pulse width modulation power supply to reduce power consumption and maintenance. This low-profile design is ideal for back-to-back dual drive configurations such as sit trucks and boom lifts.

Stieber CSK overrunning clutches are engineered for a wide range of industrial applications that require a high-performance, compact solution. This versatile sprag type freewheel is integrated into a 62 series ball bearing (except for sizes 8 and 40). It is bearing-supported, delivered pre-lubricated, and offers protection against dust. The CSK is available with “nylos” type seals for working temperatures exceeding 50°C, and oil bath lubrication is also permitted. Designed with “formchromed” sprags, it offers up to seven times the lifespan of standard sprag technology.

Warner Electric EDI Electromagnetic safety brakes are designed for integration into electric vehicle in line drive systems. Offers high torque (200Nm) within a reduced diameter to fit in a confined drivetrain space while providing better dynamic drive control for improved vehicle maneuverability. Provides reliable emergency and parking brake functionality.
