Multiple Disc Electric Clutches

Multiple Disc Electric Clutches

Multiple disc electric clutches deliver 3 to 6 times the torque of single disc electric clutches of the same package size. With superior performance and excellent reliability, the multiple disc electric clutch design is simple and rugged, ideally suited for critical applications.

Features of EMA Electric Clutches

Carlyle Johnson's multiple disc electric clutches feature our "through-the-disc" magnetic flux path, which provides maximum torque transfer, automatic wear compensation and consistent performance throughout the life of the clutch. These units can run dry or in oil, for additional heat dissipation and extended disc life.

The unit's coil housing, supported on dual ball bearings, is stationary and is held from rotating by electrical conduit or fixed member engaging the threaded fitting. There are also no slip rings or brushes. Since the clutch is a complete, compact and self-contained unit, it is ideally suited to many "built-in" installations.
