We offer a wide range of Industrial Drum Clutches : Working Principle : The Pneuflex units are used as both clutches and brakes in general power transmission applications on all types of machinery. The primary feature of this design is the pneuflex torsional resilient principle made possible by the transmission of the power through sidewalls of the flexible rubber and cord actuating tube. These expand radially inwards when pressurized. This constricting tube forces friction shoes against cylindrical drums. More is the pressure more is the torque transmitted. The flexibility also permits minor shaft misalignments.
Features :
- Airtube applies force at maximum radius from axis.
- Uniform contact velocity.
- Self adjustment.
- No lubrication.
- Centrifugal force assists clutch disengagement.
- Operates in any plane.
- Full 360 friction surface.
