Transmit high amounts of Transmit high amounts of torque torque without contact.without contact.
Completely Completely eliminateeliminate the need the need for shaft for shaft sealsseals by transmitting by transmitting torque through stainless steel torque through stainless steel barriers, guaranteeing 100% barriers, guaranteeing 100% leak leak free operation.free operation.
All All stainless steelstainless steel construction construction available for complete hermetic available for complete hermetic sealing of the coupling, so it can sealing of the coupling, so it can operate completely submerged.operate completely submerged.
Excellent in Quick Disconnect Excellent in Quick Disconnect applications. As magnetism does applications. As magnetism does not have strict alignment not have strict alignment requirements, all that is needed is requirements, all that is needed is to get the two hubs fairly close to get the two hubs fairly close together, and you have an together, and you have an automatic connectionautomatic connection..
Eliminate vibrationEliminate vibration from from one shaft to the next, as one shaft to the next, as there is there is no physical no physical connectionconnection..
Torque LimitationTorque Limitation – These – These clutches all have an inherent clutches all have an inherent ability to limit torque by ability to limit torque by slipping at their preset slipping at their preset torque level. torque level.
