High-torque tooth clutches

Nexen 5H Series tooth clutches deliver fast, no-slip engagement for washdown applications where high torque is required. The completely enclosed tooth clutches provide positive torque transmission and feature a nickel-plated exterior and rotary seal to withstand wet, corrosive environments common to food and beverage processing applications.

The 5H Series tooth clutch models offer a positive, single-position tooth interface for synchronised engagement and feature a torque range of 57 to 1350 Nm — with instantaneous torque at engagement up to 800 Nm. The nickel-plated exterior and rotary seal meet NEMA 1.26.5 water protection standards.

5H Series tooth clutches are compatible with timing belt sprockets, chain sprockets, belt pulleys or couplings for use in a broad range of applications. Tooth clutches can be simply flange- or pilot-mounted and are controlled with a three-way, solenoid, pneumatic valve. Optional solid-lube and/or stainless steel bearings are available, as well as optional single- or double-flex, nickel-plated couplings with high-misalignment capabilities for inline shaft connections.
