Slip Clutches / Friction clutches
can be used as torque limiters, tensioning devices and overrun devices. See:
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 130 Ncm (11.7 inch-lbs) to 846 NCM (74 inch-lbs) (constant torque slip clutch)
Friction clutches are built in Oldham coupling (277/285 series) for misalignment applications
