A Warner Electric elevator brake installed on a Japanese traction motor. Altra Industrial Motion Corp. [1] is an American manufacturer of mechanical power transmission products – brakes, clutches, couplings, and the like. The company is headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts.
The electromagnetic lines of flux have to attract and pull the armature in contact with it to complete engagement. Most industrial couplings use what is called a single flux, two pole design (A-2). Mobile clutches of other specialty electromagnetic clutches can use a double or triple flux rotor (A-4).
To activate the compressor the clutch is activated. This connects the air conditioning compressor's shaft end to a pulley driven by the engine's crankshaft through a belt. Electromagnetic clutches have been used on diesel locomotives, e.g. by Hohenzollern Locomotive Works.
A chainsaw's clutch. The chain wraps around a sprocket behind the clutch that turns with the outer drum. The input of the clutch is connected to the engine crankshaft while the output may drive a shaft, chain, or belt. As engine revolutions per minute increase, weighted arms in the clutch swing outward and force the clutch to engage. The most ...
A clutch is a mechanical device that allows an output shaft to be disconnected from a rotating input shaft. [1] The clutch's input shaft is typically attached to a motor, while the clutch's output shaft is connected to the mechanism that does the work. In a motor vehicle, the clutch acts as a mechanical linkage between the engine and ...
The most prominent use of fluid couplings in aeronautical applications was in the DB 601, DB 603 and DB 605 engines where it was used as a barometrically controlled hydraulic clutch for the centrifugal compressor and the Wright turbo-compound reciprocating engine, in which three power recovery turbines extracted approximately 20 percent of the ...
One-way bearing combining sprags and bearing rollers in one race Sprags jam when driven and slide when in reverse. A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.
An eddy current drive (sometimes called a "Dynamatic drive", after one of the most common brand names) consists of a fixed-speed motor (generally an induction motor) and an eddy current clutch. The clutch contains a fixed-speed rotor and an adjustable-speed rotor separated by a small air gap.
