Quick Release Valves
Clutch Engineering offers Eaton Airflex quick release valves (QRV) as a high-quality valve solution for many use cases. These products are three-way valves that are designed to allow for a faster exhaust of air out of your brake or clutch. This increase in the speed of air flow can enable faster cyclic rates and reduce any overlap between clutches and brakes. Optional muffler attachments are also available, for effectively reducing the exhaust noise of a system. Four basic valve sizes are available for these quick release valves. These are identified by the American National Pipe Thread on the cylinder port: 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" NPT. Models are also available with inlet ports that are compatible with pipe or tubing connections.
Rotorseals
Clutch Engineering offers rotorseals from Eaton Airflex. These advanced rotorseals allow air or hydrolic fluids to be transferred from a stationary supply to a rotating shaft. The compatible air or fluids can be used to control clutches and brakes, lubrication, or cooling oil. For these products, the rotating seal is created and maintained by a non-metallic sealing ring, positioned tightly against the rotorseal shaft by a light spring force. The sealing ring is designed so that media pressure acts on both of its ends to minimize the force on the sealing surface. Rotorseals are available with single, dual, and triple passages to suit your specific mechanical needs.
Sure-Grip Bushings
Clutch Engineering offers TB Wood's Sure-Grip quick detachable (QD) bushings for use in applications such as sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, gears, and couplings. These precision engineered bushings are easy to install and remove, which increases the uptime of your machinery and supports your bottom line. Sure-Grip bushings provide more clamping force than many other bushings, thanks to a more gradual taper. The tapered design provides a mechanical interference fit on the shaft. These Sure-Grip tapered, QD-type interchangeable bushings offer flexible and easy installation while still providing exceptional holding power for many critical systems. Torque range: 1,750 to 625,000 lb-in (197 to 70,615 Nm) Typical applications: Sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, gears, couplings
Taper-Lock Bushings
TB Wood's Taper-Lock bushings are high-quality parts offered by Clutch Engineering. Their intuitive construction keeps the hub smaller, allowing closer mounting to bearings and other equipment. These precision engineered bushings are compatible with a great variety of applications and they are designed to provide a mechanical interference fit on the shaft. Achieving full bushing contact on the shaft is recommended to insure proper bushing/hub performance. These products are specially made to deliver optimal performance for many mechanical applications. Torque range: 1,200 to 416,000 lb-in (135 to 47,000 Nm) Typical applications: Sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, gears, couplings
