Friction clutch and brake

electromagnetic

Backlash free clutch brakes for an accurate and controlled “stop and start” action. Key features Simple fit to IEC motors and gearboxes Easy installation Zero-backlash Good heat dissipation High cycle times Voltage options Product description SG Transmission clutch brake modules are used whenever the prime mover is required to run continuously, and the output of the driving device requires a controlled “stop and start” action. This allows an electric motor to run while controlling its output via a clutch brake module. This will reduce the power consumption of the system considerably. These modules are precision engineered with positive clutch and brake action with no backlash. They can be controlled by relatively simple solid state electronics to give accurate stopping and starting with frequencies over 300 cycles per minute. Easy installation The clutch and brake are ready assembled in a neat package which can be foot mounted or fitted to a standard IEC motor and reducer flanges. Robust construction Type 55 modules are completely enclosed and use deep groove ball bearings on the input and output. They can be mounted in any position, vertically or horizontally. Zero backlash The clutch and brake use a common driven armature, and therefore backlash during torque transmission and braking is eliminated. Safety Clutch and brake linings are hard wearing and do not contain asbestos. Low wear rate A common armature plate is used, and during the change over from transmission to braking there is no interaction between the clutch and brake. Therefore heat generation and wear are minimised.
