MZ Clutches
Clutch Engineering offers MZ electromagnetic tooth clutches that can be used in either wet or dry applications. These MZ clutches from Ogura Clutch are able to efficiently transmit torque via teeth, meaning there’s no slip and minimal backlash within the system. This MZ series provides the highest torque per size of any electromagnetic clutch style. The entire unit consists of three major components: the field, the rotor and the armature/hub assembly. This unit can only engage at a low or zero rpm. It also varies with inertia and torque of the load. Generally, max engagement speed is 30rpm.
Torque range: 18 to 2,950 lb-ft (25 to 4,000 Nm)
Typical applications: Printing machinery, gear boxes, machine tools
