Pneumatic Clutch

Pneumatic clutches control the engagement and disengagement of power transmission via air pressure: they engage under pressure increase and disengage upon pressure release. Mounting configurations available: shaft-to-shaft, shaft-to-flange, shaft-to-gear, shaft-to-sprocket, shaft-to-V-belt pulley, and shaft-to-timing-belt pulley. Available types include tooth clutch (dog clutch) and friction clutch: Tooth clutch: Both sets of teeth must be relatively stationary at the moment of engagement, but disengagement can occur at any speed. Friction clutch: Both engagement and disengagement can be performed during high-speed rotation.
