ASSEMBLY EXAMPLE Construction 1.1 NE/CD Type Description Adaptation to chain pinion The EIDE NE/CD type pneumatic clutch is a compact pneumatic clutch unit, declutching by the reaction of springs. The cylinder is supplied radially with compressed air at 5.5 bars. The air consumption is minimum and the chamber has chromed machined linings for optimum performance. The driving part is incorporated in to the assembly with 2 bearings, there is a cylindrical area with axial threaded holes to attach a sprocket or pulley (see examples of assembly 1.1) or an elastic coupling to adapt two aligned shafts (const. 1.2). Large rotation torques are transmitted with the toothed crown as coupling and, according to the layout of the teeth, a positional clutch can be obtained when it is necessary to preserve synchronism between the driving and driven part. Clutch engagement should take place while stationary or at low speeds, depending on the inertia of the system. Declutching can be at any speed. Large rotation torques are transmitted by using a toothed ring as coupling and, according to the distribution of the teeth, a positional clutch can be obtained when it is necessary to preserve synchronism between the driving and driven part. One position per turn synchronism is standard (360°) Clutch engagement should take place while rested or at a very low speeds, depending on the inertia of the system. Disengage could be done at any speed. It can also be supplied as friction clutch with spring reaction brake.
