Operation

• Friction clutch coupling engages with air pressure, spring released when air is exhausted
• Torque is linear in response to air pressure applied

Mounting

• Set screws and customer supplied key connect the clutch mechanism to one shaft and the coupling hub to a second, fully supported shaft
• Anti-rotation arm required to prevent rotation of the air housing
• Clutch couplings are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering for options
• Note: Clutch coupling mechanism DOES NOT support flexible coupling half

Applications

• Flexible clutch couplings connect/disconnect two fully supported shafts
• Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

• Elastomeric element compensates for up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment and up to 0.040 parallel offset between shafts
• Both clutch mechanism and coupling bored to suit up to the maximum shown (US & Metric) to accept differing shaft sizes
• Available with either high or low* coefficient friction linings for same price
