Slip-Aire

The Polyclutch Slip-Aire is an air pressure actuated version of the Mechanical Polyclutch Slip Clutch. It has the same long life friction members, assuring constant torque or tension. With air actuation it can be used to engage/disengage, to vary the torque during operation, or to adjust the torque remotely at any time. Ideal for servo mechanisms, they transmit higher torque levels than comparably sized mechanical slip clutches. Slip-Aire Clutches are less expensive to purchase and operate than electrically actuated versions. Sealed ball bearings are available on selected models.
