Contactless transmission of torque between two rotating components
Synonym(e) / Plural(e)
  • Magnetic clutches

A magnetic clutch enables the contactless transmission of torque between two rotating components. When the current is switched on, a magnetic field is created that pulls the armature disk axially against the rotor. The force is transmitted via a steel spring, which ensures a backlash-free and wear-free torque. When the current is switched off, the clutch disengages automatically: the steel spring releases the armature disk from the rotor.

Magnetic clutches are maintenance-free and particularly durable. They have wear-resistant, asbestos-free friction linings and hardened surfaces that ensure high reliability and a long service life.
