Posidyne clutch brakes from Force Control Industries allow precise positioning

Force Control Industries offers Posidyne® clutch brakes. They feature oil shear technology for rapid and precise stopping, starting, speed change, and positioning, without adjustment or maintenance, the company reports.

The clutch brakes are suitable for applications with frequent start/stop cycles, such as indexing conveyors, rotary tables, batch feeders, and cutoff machines. They allow cycle rates up to 300 cycles/min.

Designed with low-inertia cycling components, the clutch brake requires less motor horsepower to accelerate the load and less torque to stop the load. The enclosed design is impervious to dust, chips, chemicals, coolants, caustic washdown, and weather.
