Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and details for the MLI (Marine Low Inertia) Clutch by Altra Industrial Motion, designed for heavy-duty marine and offshore drive applications. It highlights the clutch's suitability for quill-shaft mounting and its large friction area for effective control during start-up conditions.

Specifications: The MLI clutch is available in 1 to 4 plate designs, tailored to meet specific torque, heat, and response requirements. It features an air-applied mechanism with full-circle friction discs and a rotary coupling for fast response times. The clutch is intended for dry use only.

Performance: Key performance metrics include dynamic slip torque, maximum speed, inertia, and weight. The document provides a detailed table listing these parameters for various MLI models, such as MLI 114, MLI 214, MLI 314, etc. Selection torque is calculated using a nominal application torque multiplied by a service factor 'K', which ranges from 2.0 to 2.5.

Dimensions: Dimensions for each clutch model are provided, including measurements for components like hub bore, mounting holes, and overall size. The document advises obtaining certified drawings for precise dimensions before final machinery layout.
