Friction clutch CGX series

springindexing

High technology and precision is demanded in indexing and the position of equipment in modern machinery. The CCX Crossgard satisfies the demands for precision and performance and provides overload protection for modern machinery. CGX Clutches through their unique design provide backlash free, fail-safe, overload protection. High precision of trip torque is obtained with settings within ±3% accuracy, and very little motion is lost during tripping. An innovative ball and wedge mechanism is used to prevent backlash, and this is further employed in the coupling version to compensate for angular or parallel error or axial displacement with no loss in torsional rigidity. Five sizes of clutches and couplings have range 1.7 Nm to 785 Nm with maximum shaft speeds of 1400rpm. Units automatically reset after overload by slow shaft rotation.
