Sg Transmission, Clutch and Brake manufacturer
 
Clutch type 51
Clutch type 51 SG Transmission Type 51 clutches offer a low-cost and simple option for the transmission of motion in a drive train. Three basic types are currently available allowing for various mounting options and flexibility in design. However, over 50% of our throughput are customised units in batches from 10 to 2,000. Please contact us using the link above to discuss your specific requirements The three basic types are:

Flange Mounted - for mounting directly to motor or gearbox bodies etc...
Ball Bearing Mounted – For mounting directly onto shafts for high speed or high force applications
Sleeve Bearing Mounted – for mounting onto shafts where lower forces and speeds are required
Brake type 52
Brake type 52 SG Transmission Type 52 powered on electromagnetic brakes are all FM (flange mounted). These brakes can be supplied as shown on the data sheet at the below pdf file. The armatures can be supplied as C.L., C.C., or C.R. types (please refer to data sheets on the right) and consist of an armature plate and return spring (in C.L. form), or a hub, with or without bearings, to suit the needs of the drive train. The armature must be positioned with an air-gap to allow efficient operation, and must be checked at regular interval and reset where necessary.
Clutch Brakes type 54
Clutch Brakes type 54 SG Transmission Type 54 Modules combined clutch and brake packages are normally used in belt or chain driven applications where the rotary motion is derived from a remote location or from a co-axially coupled motor.

They are used whenever the prime mover is required to run continuously and the unit which it is
driving is to have a controlled “stop - start’ action. Allowing an electric motor to run and controlling its output with a combined clutch brake unit reduces the power consumption of the system considerably.
Clutch brake modules type 55
Clutch brake modules type 55 SG Transmission clutch brake modules are used whenever the prime mover is required to run continuously, and the output of the driving device requires a controlled “stop and start” action. This allows an electric motor to run while controlling its output via a clutch brake module. This will reduce the power consumption of the system considerably. These modules are precision engineered with positive clutch and brake action with no backlash. They can be controlled by relatively simple solid state electronics to give accurate stopping and starting with frequencies over 300 cycles per minute.
Brake Type 56
Brake Type 56 SG Transmission Type 56 electrically released brakes use double sided non-asbestos linings and a metal hub drive for safety. Three coaxial coil springs apply the braking force.

Complete brakes can be supplied with or without a flange, see data sheet below. Note: if an application where corrosion of the friction surfaces
is likely (leading to difficulty in disengaging the brake), rust resistant steel friction discs are available.

A rubber dust sealing ring is available for popular sizes to prevent ingress of foreign matter. A hand release mechanism can be supplied when required
Permanent Magnet Brakes
Permanent Magnet Brakes SG Transmission permanent magnet (fail-safe) brakes incorporate the use of high specification Rare-Earth materials to ensure a positive stopping action in all types of rotating machinery.

These power-off devices are designed so that when the power is removed from the unit, for whatever reason, the magnetic energy of a permanent
magnetic disc is channeled and controlled to attract the steel armature plate across an air-gap, thus clamping it in its place against the stationary field housing to give the required braking effect
Low Cost Slip Clutch
Low Cost Slip Clutch EASY INSTALLATION WITH NO ADJUSTMENTS
Units are provided pre-assembled to a specific torque range, so there is nothing to adjust.

STABLE TORQUE
A consistent torque is maintained because of the hysteresis principle and is consistent within allowable speed range.
LONG OPERATIONAL LIFE
Permanent magnets and magnetic particles transmit torque, therefore wear is virtually eliminated.

NO CONTAMINATION
Units are sealed which prevents any particles from contaminating the machine, and also prevents contamination of the clutch by the machine environment.
Holding Magnets
Holding Magnets SG Transmission supply electro-magnets in any voltage to suit your application including 24V d.c. and 240V a.c. This when combined with matching to the mounting and holding force you require provides the most cost effective electromagnet for any application. All the magnets are supplied with flying leads as standard, however size 50 and above electromagnets can be fitted with a 3-pole plug and free sockets.
• Simple Construction.
• 7 Standard sizes available.
• Interchangeable.
• Holding forces from 140N to 3500N.
Permanent Magnet Hysteresis Clutches and Brakes
Permanent Magnet Hysteresis Clutches and Brakes DESIGNED FOR CONTINUOUS SLIP
The 51-PC/51-PB series clutches and brakes have been designed to maintain high performance in continuous slip applications.
