Clutch Engineering helps to ensure the successful and optimal operation of your critical applications by providing a diverse selection of accessories. These accessories range from shaft locking devices, various bushings, quick release valves that can exhaust air at great speeds, to rotorseals that can supply air and other fluids. Our clutch and brake accessories are based around the success of our clients and many specialized needs that demand a modern solution. Contact our team for more information.
Anderson Clamp Hub
CCA’s Anderson Keyless Clamp Hub is a quick and easy solution to virtually any shaft connection. They can be used on straight, keyed, hydraulic, tapered, or splined shafts. The Anderson clamp hub is installed and removed with only hand tools, no heat or hydraulics required. These hubs can be used to mount Flexxor and UltraFlexx couplings, as well as fan blades, gears, brake discs, and much more.
Torque range: 1,875 to 8,020,500 lb-in (212 to 906,196 Nm)
Typical applications: Compressors, fans, pumps, gas turbines, test stands
Quick Release Valves
Quick release valves (QRV) are three-way valves that allow air to exhaust faster out of your brake or clutch. This can allow for faster cyclic rates and reduce overlap between clutches and brakes. Optional muffler attachments reduce the exhaust noise.
Rotorseals
Rotorseals from Eaton Airflex allow fluids to be transferred from a stationary supply to a rotating shaft. The fluids may include air or hydraulic fluid to control clutches and brakes, lubrication, or cooling oil. Rotorseals are available with single, dual, and triple passages to suit your needs.
SLD Locking Devices
Clutch Engineering offers Lovejoy shaft locking devices (SLD) that can connect hubs solidly to shafts in applications such as sheaves, sprockets, drive shafts, and more. These specially manufactured parts use a keyless mechanical interference fit. They also feature adjustable screw tension to expand the SLD to fill the gap between hub and shaft as needed. This option makes them easy to install and remove, and importantly, allows hubs to be positioned on the shaft accurately and effectively. The Lovejoy SLD 900 Shaft Locking Device is engineered to provide an efficient, high capacity, zero backlash, hub-to-shaft connection using a specialized mechanical interference fit.
Torque range: 1.73 to 565,563 lb-ft (2.3 to 766,800 Nm)
Typical applications: Sheaves, sprockets, gears, driveshafts, coupling mounting
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
TLB System
The Twiflex Turning, Locking, and Braking System (TLB) is offered by Clutch Engineering and it is constructed with an innovative design that reduces costs. These products reduce the space required for use, and minimize installation and maintenance time, which all supports your bottom line. All three of these important functions, including turning, locking, and breaking, are combined into a single highly-functional system. The useful TLB system is fully designed and built in-house by Twiflex. Additional optional local controls are available.
Turning torques up to 334,850 lb-ft (454,000 Nm)
Braking and locking torques up to 635,780 lb-ft (862,000 Nm)
Typical application: Marine propulsion
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
