Bistable tooth clutch Type 556 M1

Product catalog summary
Characteristics and Features
  • Energy savings up to 99% with low emissions.
  • High safety level with no unintended operations during power off.
  • Short current pulse required to change switch position, maintaining position without current.
  • Slip-free, form-locking torque transmission, engageable at low relative speeds.
  • Short cycle times and switch position detection via standard sensors.
  • Customizable toothing geometry and available as a bistable tooth brake.
  • Integrated, easy-to-assemble system solution with overload release.
  • Unique and patented design (DE 10 2014 110 117).
Applications and Customization

Mönninghoff clutches are versatile, suitable for extreme conditions in various industries such as medical robotics, aerospace, and packaging. They offer application-specific solutions with customizable features like toothing geometry, voltage, and bore size.

Technical Specifications
  • Standard voltage: 24 Vdc, with options from 6 to 196 Vdc.
  • Permissible voltage tolerance: -10% to +5% (VDE 0580).
  • Torque transmission must exceed the largest possible occurring torque, considering safety factors.
  • Available clutch sizes with specific torque, speed, and dimension parameters.
Toothing Geometries
  • Standard: Transmits torque with little backlash, available backlash-free.
  • Saw: Transmits nominal torque in both directions, limited reverse torque.
  • Spaced: Large backlash, engageable at higher speeds.
  • Stepped: Nominal torque transmission with limited reverse torque and little backlash.
Technical Features
  • Combination of electromagnetic coil, permanent magnets, and pressure springs.
  • Switching position detection via armature slot monitored by standard sensors.
  • Permanent magnets designed to transmit nominal torque.
  • Short current pulse needed for switch position change.
System Solutions and Support

Mönninghoff offers complex high-tech systems combining various power transmission elements to solve specific application challenges. They emphasize customer collaboration, engineering expertise, and commitment to quality and innovation.

Bistable tooth clutch - Type 556 M1 Clutch size When dimensioning a Mönninghoff tooth clutch, several technical preconditions should be considered: • for the selection of the correct size, not only the peak load but also the dynamic behavior of the drive have to be taken into account • tooth clutches - contrary to friction clutches - must never be overloaded and safety factors must be considered • generally, the selection of the right clutch is based on torque: P M = 9550 n  K [Nm] M = (ML + MB)  K [Nm] • the transmittable torque of the clutch must always be higher than the largest possible...
