The C130 magnetic particle clutch is designed for smooth torque control in applications requiring slip operation, with a torque range of 4 to 130 lb.-in. and a maximum speed of 1000 RPM. It dissipates up to 80 watts continuously and operates with a maximum case temperature of 160 degrees F. The clutch weighs 22 lbs. and has an output shaft inertia of 15 × 10⁻⁴ lb.-in.-sec². Response times are 130 ms unforced and 65 ms forced. Rated coil voltages are 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 90 VDC, with corresponding resistances of 9, 42, and 633 ohms. The clutch requires a flexible coupling and electrical grounding, and mounting components must slide fit without hammering or prying.
Placid magnetic particle clutches, also called magnetic powder clutches, provide a wide operating Torque Range. The torque is smooth and repeatable, thereby allowing for accurate control independent of the speed. The torque vs. current curve is nearly linear, making these clutches uniquely suited for tension control unwind/rewind applications, load simulation, torque limiting, and adjustable soft starts. Available in small and large sizes with torque ranging from 0.3 to 300 lb.-feet.
