Slip Clutches / Friction clutches can be used as torque limiters, tensioning devices and overrun devices. See:

How Slip Clutches Solve Problems

     Compact slip clutches/friction clutches are adjustable and have a wide range of torque. Set screw or clamp fixing and inch and metric bores are available..

      The construction of slip clutches /friction clutches is simple and robust. Friction Clutch is comprised of a series of steel plates engaging a hub and a series of friction rings engaging a housing. Pressure is put on the plates and friction rings by an adjuster acting through a spring and pressure plate.

     Torque of slip clutch ranges from 11.7 inch-lbs to 750 inch-lbs

     Friction clutches are built in Oldham coupling (277/285 series) for misalignment applications
