Clutches cut down on downtime

Emerson Power Transmission has added three new products to the Browning torque overload device family.
Emerson Power Transmission has added three new products to the Browning torque overload device family: the Browning Torq/Pro X and Browning Torq/Pro Z torque overload devices, and the Browning Axial Gard linear overload device. In addition, the Browning Torq/Pro product line has been extended to include six new models. The products are all included in the new catalogue, MC-06, featuring the complete line of Browning and Morse mechanical clutches and torque overload devices.

The new catalogue provides general clutch and torque overload device information in order to help users select the proper device for their application.

The Browning and Morse product offerings provide the industry's broadest line of conveyor backstopping, overrunning and indexing clutches.

Both these product lines are designed to help increase production by reducing downtime.

The new Browning Torq/Pro X features a patent pending, innovative ball and pocket mechanism that nearly eliminates backlash.

The Torq/Pro X is an automatic reset torque overload device that has a bore range of 7-70mm, torque range of 1.7-784Nm and trip torque precision of +/-3%.

The Browning Torq/Pro Z is an overload device that allows the input side to continue to revolve freely after tripping.

The Torq/Pro Z is a manual reset torque overload device that has a bore range of 8-50mm, torque range of 2.4-450Nm and trip torque precision of +/-10%.

With the line expansion of the Browning Torq/Pro line, the bore range is 5-130mm, torque range of 3.5-7145Nm and trip torque precision of +/-10%.

The Browning Axial Gard linear overload device trips immediately an overload occurs, cutting off the axial load to the application.

The trip load setting range is 147-3430N, and trip torque precision is +/-15%.
