Sheargard Torque RatingsSelection of Wedges for Torque Rating For each size of Sheargard clutch a selection of Standard wedge pins are available, which can be combined together to provide the desired torque setting. Standard wedges are coded for identification. Sizes 350SG to 900SG use brass pins as standard (steel optional), other clutches use steel as standard pin material. A representative selection of standard torque settings possible with standard wedges is shown in the table below, all torque ratings being accurate within ±10%. Additional torque settings can be provided with standard or...
