Overload clutch - FT series
Sliding clutches provide an ideal means of overload protection when connecting two shafts. The units consist of a normal sliding hub with a plate wheel as a centre plus an additional hub sprocket.The drive and output end are connected by means of a positive, but low elasticity, fit using a DIN-standard (BS) double roller chain. A standard connecting link is supplied with every clutch. Sliding clutches ensure a consistent slip torque, low maintenance, easy installation and simple release of the shaft connection. They are deployed as an overload protection means whenever slight parallel or angular offsetting of the two connected shafts cannot be avoided. Permitted alignment errors for the individual sizes are specified in the table.
