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.

Because these units are precisely manufactured with a positive “stop - start” action they can be controlled with relatively simple solid state electronics to give accurate repeatable positioning.
