K64 Series Cut-Out Clutch greatly enhances torque capacity and life
Walterscheid's redesigned K64 Cut-Out Clutch further improves the successful K64 series clutches. The redesigned clutches provide nearly double the torque capacity and life compared to the original K64 clutches. The redesigned K64 is available in two sizes and can have torque settings up to 5000 Newton meters (3690 pound.foot) at speeds up to 1000 revolutions per minute. The new clutch uses bellville springs and 2 or 4 cams to achieve different torque settings. During overload, the cams are pushed back against the spring force. The clutch freewheels until the speed is reduced to automatically reengage the clutch. During overloads, the clutch generates less heat and is more compact than a friction clutch. The clutch can be tailored to the application by varying the clutch size, number of cams, and spring force. The clutch is sealed and maintenance free. Walterscheid's redesigned K64 Cut-Out clutches provides higher torque clutch options for today's higher capacity machines.
