Miniature Slip Clutch, Type A, 1/4" Through Bore x 1.004" OD x 1.039" O/A Length 1.039" Length

Miniature Slip Clutch Type A is designed to become an integral part of a gear or wheel to provide overload protection between the drive and driven components. Since the clutch, in effect, becomes a part of the gear or wheel, the space required is held to a minimum. These clutches are friction devices which may be pre-set to a specific torque level by an adjustment ring. They may be used to protect against overload between the drive and driven components, to absorb inertia in intermittent or reversing applications, or to provide continuous braking. The overload or breaking level may be varied by the knurled adjustment ring, which, once set, will continue to perform at that level. In applications where continuous braking is being applied, care should be taken not to allow the surface temperature to exceed 80 C. An O-ring set into the adjustment ring serves both as a thread lock against accidental movement and also seals the unit against dirt and moisture. Torque Range: 3.4 - 76 oz. in. Power dissipation at 68 F (20 C) is 7.0 watts.
