 Easy Way to Increase Operator Safety

Easy way to increase operator safety

Ogura electromagnetic clutches can be engaged or disengaged by a simple flip of a switch or even an app on your smart phone. Remote actuation and de-actuation without an operator being near the rotating piece of machinery can be critical in a dangerous environment. This provides the machine operator both convenience and safety. Applications like stump grinders that have a rotating cutter head can be fitted with an operator presence control so if something were to happen, the clutch would become disengaged almost immediately. A mechanical or centrifugal clutch would take either time or a secondary action to disengage.

Ideal for remote locations – Remote operation is essential in agricultural and oil field applications, especially irrigation and pump jack operation. The operator can control machine functions from miles away if needed.

Reduce accidents and improve safety – the ability to control operations remotely greatly decreases the chance for machine accidents and keeps the operator away and safe from rotating components.

Ogura electromagnetic clutches are available in all standard engine shafts sizes and offer multiple output options, including single and multiple v belt pulleys and universal output flanges for in-line or other output options like sprockets or timing pulleys.
