Posidyne clutch brakes, with oil shear technology that allows rapid and precise stopping, starting, reversing, speed change and positioning, all without adjustment or maintenance, are now available in space-savings piggyback designs. Special pads cast into the main housings mount an adjustable motor base, allowing the motor to sit atop the clutch brake. Other components include a gear belt drive from the motor to the input shaft and an enclosed belt drive guard. This space saving design is ideal for applications where an inline arrangement is not feasible due to space considerations. Posidyne piggyback clutch brakes are well suited for applications with frequent start/stop cycles, and high cycle rates (up to 300 cycles per minute), which place a high priority on maximizing production and minimizing downtime.
Faster production rates coupled with significantly longer service life than traditional (dry) clutch/brakes (5 to 10 times longer in many cases) yields increased uptime, productivity and ROI. No adjustment, virtually no maintenance, multi-year service life, minimal parts inventory, reduced parts and replacement ordering cost, adds up to higher production at less cost.
