Mach III Clutch, Inc. was contacted by a pneumatics distributor seeking an expedited solution for one of their customers. The customer was faced with an extremely long lead time to replace a failing foot mounted electric combination clutch/brake on a European made machine. Axial space was constrained by the input and output pulley and gear placement. When it was determined that the customer was willing to change to pneumatic operation a package was designed which duplicated all the mounting dimensions and metric shaft sizes with the exception of the centerline height. The concept was accepted and the new clutch/brake was built and shipped within four weeks instead of the months that had been quoted by the European OEM. The new design has considerably more surface area so the service life should be extended as well. As an added bonus, the cost was a fraction of that of the original unit!
Mach III has the design capabilities to produce replacements for the discontinued or difficult to obtain clutches, brakes, combination clutch/brakes and torque limiters you are seeking. Contact our engineering department today with your requirements.
