Three different sizedpiston sets can be actuated singly,or in any combination for alarge number of torque-to-airpressure ranges.This unique design gives youprecise torque control withoutthe problems associated withoperating at low air pressures.Ventilated rotor keepsthe clutch and brake coolThe ventilated rotor creates anairflow path that draws coolerambient air into the center ofthe rotor. The flow path directsair past the interface anddissipates heat radially awayfrom the unit. This keeps theunit running cooler and longerfor better performance.Different piston sizesgive you the widest rangeNexen’s clutches actuate usinga piston / diaphragm combinationin three different sizes.There are no o-rings to stick,no seals to drag. There’snothing to hinder precisecontrol of torque at loweroperating pressures.By engaging and disengagingvarious combinations of small,medium and large piston sets,you’ll have a broad range oftorque vs. Air pressurecombinations. This gives youprecise control over a widerange of torques and airpressures and lets you run awider variety of materials onthe same machine.Features and benefits• Fine torque control forprecise tension control ofweb processes - 500:1tension control range• Field and dynamicprogramming of pressure/torque characteristics forflexible operations• Diaphragm operation — noseals to drag or o-rings tostick for great low pressureperformance• Different size piston sets• Through-shaft mounting• Compact size• No rotary air unionsrequired — eliminates"gun drilling" shaftsVariable torque rangesthrough the use of valvesUse air valves to engage combinationsof pistons as shownin Diagram 2. Read the torquevalue for each piston setdirectly from the Torque vs. AirPressure graph on the nextpage and add them.Example: STC 600Large piston set at 40 p.s.i. hasa rated torque of 95 in-lb.Medium piston set at 40 p.s.i.has a rated torque of 67 in-lb.Small piston set at 40 p.s.i. hasa rated torque of 41 in-lb.Total torque at 40 p.s.i.:Large + Medium =95 + 67 = 162 in-lb.Small only = 41 in-lb.The total torque range of theclutch will equal the sum of thetorques of the individual sets from0 to maximum air pressure.76
