Placid Ind. Specifications

Placid Industries - - Magnetic Particle Clutches, up to 15 Newton-meters torque.

Magnetic Particle Clutch - Specifications		Larger clutches up to 400 Newton-meters available.
Torque range = 0-22 to 1500 newton-cm. View in inch units

	Typical applications: Adjustable tension for rewinding webs Load simulation Torque limiting Soft starts The cross-section drawing shows how clutches work.
	Mount with shafts in any orientation.

Torque is -

Proportional to input current
Independent of RPM

Characteristics - With no electrical excitation, the input shaft & output shaft freely rotate.
With electrical excitation, the output shaft becomes coupled to the input shaft.

While the load torque is less than the output torque, the clutch drives without slip. When the load torque is increased, the clutch will slip smoothly at the torque level set by the coil input current.

Use the sizing information to select the proper clutch.
