Clutches

Industrial clutches are used to engage or disengage the power transmission between two rotating shafts. They provide control and flexibility in various industrial applications where the smooth and controlled transfer of power is required.

When selecting an industrial clutch, factors such as torque capacity, operating speed, engagement/disengagement requirements, environmental conditions, and compatibility with the driven equipment should be considered.

Torque Limiters

Industrial torque limiters are used to protect machinery and equipment from excessive torque or overload. Prepare to prevent damage caused by sudden increases in torque, such as jams, overloads, or unexpected changes in operating conditions.

We stock a range of centrifugal, Electromechanical, Shaft Mounted, and Torque limiters (overload Clutches).

If you need assistance on choosing the correct clutch for your specific application, our friendly team of expert will be able to assist with your selection.

Type

Centrifugal Clutches

Chain & Drives are the distributor of the Lawrence Clutches and TransDrive range of clutches.

Electromechanical Clutches

Electromechanical clutches work electrically, but transmit torque mechanically and are most suitable for remote operation applications due to the absence of mechanical linkages.

Heavy Duty Clutches

Chain & Drives supply the market leading FM Series Heavy Duty Clutches. Our range cover from 30HP to 5000HP. Our clutches are manufactured to your specifications the will fit all types of engine flywheels.

Shaft Mounted Clutches

Shaft mounted clutches work by holding power and motion. Whether your application calls for reverse movement, torque control, high RPM speeds or rotary action.

Torque Limiters

Torque Limiter are designed to protect drive systems from unnecessary overload. When too much torque is transmitted through a drive, the Torque Limiter automatically slips on its shaft when a predetermined torque level is reached.
