Motion Control Power-On Clutches

Description

Power-On Clutches transmit the rotary motion from a motor to a parallel shaft when energized using pulleys, sheaves, sprockets or gears to transmit the rotary force. Clutches are typically energized by a manual switch closure, relay operated by a process controller, or other automated process management or control system. Valcor’s line of shaft-mounted power-on clutches offer a variety of torque ratings and consists of five product groups featuring different mounting arrangements. Valcor offers custom designed solutions for any electromagnetic clutch application.
