The process of selecting small inch size drive components for new prototypes or production applications just became easier.
Three tapped holes at the input end of these clutches are designed to accept a series of mating Sterling off-the-shelf hubless gears or other standardised sprockets or pulleys.
Identified as the S9940Y series their limit torque range is from 64 to 3390mNm.
A special feature for these off-the-shelf units is their ability to operate either clockwise or anticlockwise combined with the option of having the same or different CW and CCW torque values.
A host of other custom modifications to the standard line include special configurations, driver arrangements or limit torques.
A spring windup and limit torque combination can even be specified.
The clutches range from 0.63 to 3.00in diameter and from 1.05 to 2.30in length and are designed to accept shafts ranging from 0.1248 to 0.875in diameter.
They feature precise and stable limit torque calibration plus long life under continuous slip conditions.
Useful life is a function of the transmitted torque and slip speed.
Prices start at $61.20 in single unit quantities.
