Magnetic Clutches

Magnetic clutches smoothly and cost-effectively transmit torque with servo-quality overload protection for nearly any type of industrial manufacturing. Benefits/features include:

Smooth disengagement, even during high torque
Easy to assemble and adjust
High stiffness and low inertia
Exact transmission of the rotational movement even under extreme temperatures and environments
Use for unique applications requiring reliability, precision, power and repeatability within the same package
All magnetic clutches are available in full stainless steel

Synchronous Magnetic Clutches
Provide servo-quality overload protection for manufacturing applications requiring frequent high-torque operations.

Available in shaft-to-shaft, disk or shaft-flange styles, these clutches transmit force with no physical contact. They are even capable of safely transmitting torque through a wall. High-torque transmission is accomplished by the synchronous clutches' permanent-magnet design, which consists of two multiple-pole magnetic cylinders. Torque is produced by the magnetic field across the air gap between the two cylinders
