Clutches & Breaks

HPI clutches are mounted on the head shaft and translate reciprocating motion from the crank mechanism into incremental motion in one direction. These clutches are available with FDA approved food grade greases and a variety of surface coatings required for wash down duty.

Combination clutch and brake accurately start and stop loads driven by a continuously rotating power source.

Electro modules can be bolted directly to a NEMA C-face motor or reducer or they can be based mounted for stand alone operation. Electro modules offer the ultimate in clutch/brake convenience. They are easy and quick to install and require no lubrication or maintenance for life.

Friction brakes offer uni-directional control and compact design. Their low inertia rotating components provide long life and higher acceleration rates.
