EAS - Compact - Backlash-free Torque Limiting Clutches
The EAS® -compact is a positive-locking, detenting or disengaging safety clutch based on the ball-recess principle. The clutch protects the driveline against impermissibly high torque surges which can occur due to unforeseen blockages.
Ratchetting clutches
These clutches disengage and re-engage at any point on the circumference (for example with a 15° division). They are ready for operation again as soon as the malfunction has been resolved.
Synchronous clutches
These clutches disengage on overload and re-engage after 360° at exactly the same point. When in operation, the input and the output always have the same angular position to one another. After the malfunction has been resolved, they are automatically ready for operation.
Overload clutches
These clutches disengage on overload and disconnect the input and output residual torque-free. They remain disengaged until they are re-engaged, either manually or using suitable devices. The energy stored in the rotating masses can slow down freely. Overload clutches are frequently the best choice for quick-running drives with high torques and large mass moments of inertia.
