Friction clutch 817-3521

electromagneticPTO

The Friction clutch is indispensable in certain agricultural implement applications. The friction clutch is the only torque limiter that has the ability to continuously transmit power (at a reduced level) while overloaded. This is valuable during startup of high inertia machines, as well as for leveling out torsional fluctuations due to high cyclic loads. The TorQmaster’s patented technology dissipates heat quickly, improving durability while protecting the machine. The TorQmaster clutch packs are preset for various power levels to meet the needs of the application while reducing torque overloads on the implement, n adjustment is required after slipping. TorQmaster clutch packs are provided with ID tangs that mate with either a free-motion or overrunning clutch yoke. The free-motion design allows for easy connection of the PTO Drive Shaft to the tractor PTO, the overrunning design adds to this also the ability for any implement to free-wheel to a stop. The TorQmaster Friction Clutch must be used in conjunction with a mating TorQmaster clutch yoke and is easily mounted with standard tools. PERFORMANCE BENEFITS • Implement overload protection. • Isolates and dissipates heat minimizing downtime for higher productivity. • Corrosion resistant friction discs. • Minimal maintenance. • Wear indicator tabs show when maintenance is needed. • Tamper-resistant. • Modular design offered with or without free motion, overrunning, through-shaft, or re-engageable options. • Smooth operation, no damaging torque spikes. • Torque transmission while slipping aids in dislodging plugs for increased productivity.
