ABOUT PRECISION SLIP CLUTCHES • o sudden shock on sensitive paper, film, wire, N thread, etc. • Smooth, accurate starting/stopping of conveyors, indexing mechanisms, linear actuators, etc. • Repeatable cushioned torque for protection during • Repeatable accurate torque for capping machines, automatic screw driving, valve control, etc. | Precision Slip Clutches POLYCLUTCH ELIMINATES STICTION – Polyclutch has developed a unique technology and manufacturing process resulting in static friction being lower than dynamic friction. This characteristic generates repeatable torque control and smooth operation...

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS CONTINUOUS SLIP CLUTCHES SOLVE MANY DESIGN ENGINEERING PROBLEMS Polyclutch slip clutches can slip continuously or intermittently for over 30 million cycles. This opens up many design engineering options including… TORQUE CONTROL OVERLOAD PROTECTION Protect machinery and operator. Clutch will slip when mechanism is jammed. Motion will continue when impediment is removed. Screw bottle caps, screws, controls, etc., to correct torque setting. Combine with one way clutch to slip at rated torque in one direction and freewheel or positive drive in other direction....

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS SLIP CLUTCH LINE OVERVIEW Three factors in determining the right clutch are: the maximum shaft size, torque capacity of the clutch, and wattage capacity. Maximum wattage capacities are listed for each model in the Series specifications. Please consider the limitations listed below for each type of clutch. Note: For torque adjustment while clutch is in use (remote torque adjustment), see the SLIP-AIRE clutches. SERIES 16 • Most compact model • Can accommodate shaft sizes up to 0.375 inch • Torque capacity up to 10 lb-in • Available in a fixed torque or adjustable...

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS APPLICATION EXAMPLES | Application Examples Polyclutch Extends Machinery Life Polyclutch adjustable slip clutches control the precise amount of torque to tighten bottle caps, without wear or breakage, in this capping line application. All the slippage is in the clutch, with no appreciable wear. Constant Torque Gives You the Slip A slip clutch acts as a continuous drag brake to meet the specific torque requirement for this unwind/rewind system application in a DATAMAX® bar code printer. Other applications apply constant tension to film, wire, thread, paper, etc....

APPLICATION EXAMPLES MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS Automated Kiosks Polyclutch slip clutches are an integral part of many retail kiosks. As shown in this photo, a slip clutch is used to protect the sensitive drive mechanisms of these automated machines. Disabled Access Systems A Polyclutch slip clutch provides safety in many disabled access systems, as seen in this photo, where it is being used for overload protection in an automated door opener.

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS APPLICATION EXAMPLES | Application Examples Ice-Dispensing Machines Hidden deep inside of this ice-making machine, a Polyclutch slip clutch prevents overload to the drive mechanism during the forming and dispensing of ice cubes. Retail Vending Kiosks A Polyclutch protects this machine against any type of overload or jamming during the process of dispensing a DVD. Polyclutch adds a mechanical safety for moving MRI beds as seen in this picture.

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS APPLICATION EXAMPLES Polyclutch slip clutches offer an added level of safety and protection to both the machine and its operators. Label Printers Polyclutch slip clutches are the perfect solution for adding just the right amount of tension to any reel or spool without having to worry about the tension varying over time or wearing out prematurely. Military and Law Enforcement Inspection Robots The Machine Lab, Inc., an industry leader in defense robotics, uses two Polyclutch slip clutches in each robot arm for overload protection.

MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS APPLICATION EXAMPLES | Application Examples The Polyclutch slipper provides precision torque control during the manufacturing of dental implants. In this medical application, a Slip-Ease clutch is used as a retention hinge on a mounting platform of a surgical device. The V-Series slipper is the ideal solution for torque control on capping machines. The V-Series slipper provides overload protection and increases operator safety to this manual cutting tool. This mechanical slip clutch limits the amount of torque that is transferred to the cutting tool, making...

POLYCLUTCH® SLIPPER MECHANICAL MOTION CONTROL PRODUCTS SLIPPER | MECHANICAL SLIP CLUTCHES | Mechanical Slip Clutches The Polyclutch slipper controls torque for intermittent, continuous or overload slip. It contains a number of brass plates interfaced with long life friction material. Soft springs maintain pressure on the friction plates, assuring constant torque. An adjacent component of your mechanism can often be used as the clutch housing reducing overall cost or space concerns. Torque control in one direction can be achieved by combining with our one-way clutch. FIXED FACTORY SET – NON ADJUSTABLE...
