Air ClutchIt is mainly used for the spindle front drive and transmit the engine rotation power to the generator.

Air Clutch

The element for the air clutch is used for the transmission and the block of power generated by the engine.
Friction power is controlled by the expansion and compression of the air tube.
The engine rotation power is transmitted as a driven power of the generator and the hydraulic pump, etc.

Product Information
A little allowance of the shaft can be accommodated due to the elastic tube.

It is also effective for heat dissipation due to the opening structure.
The remote control can be easily done and results in the energy saving.
The mounting and the maintenance are easy due to a small number
of components.

　SUGA’s Marine Products (✔️) 

We fabricate spindle front drives as shown in the following figure and the element for the air clutch is used.
The power is transmitted from the engine placed at the left in the figure to the shaft. The power from the engine is transmitted by activating the element when driving the shaft at the right in the figure.
The air clutch is composed of the drum and the spider in response to the element.

I　Major Calculation formula of clutch and brake

  1. Calculation of a torque

    • T=9550･P/n=7017･PS/n

  2. Calculation of the average kinetic friction torque

    • 1)　n the case of no load torque
      Td=J･n/9.55tae
    • 2)　In the case of the load torque
      Start acceleration　Td=(J･n/9.55tae)+Tl
      Deceleration stop　Td= (J･n/9.55tab)-Tl

  3. Calculation of operate time

    • 1)　n the case of no load torque.
      tae=tab=2π･J･n/60Td=J･n/9.55Td
    • 2)　In the case of the load torque
      Start acceleration　tae=2π･J･n/60(Td-Tl)=J･n/9.55(Td-Tl)
      Deceleration stop　tab=2π･J･n/60(Td+Tl)=J･n/9.55(Td+Tl)

  4. Calculation of work

    • 1)　In the case of no load torque.
      Ee=Eb=J･ｎ2/182
    • 2)　In the case of the load torque
      Start acceleration　Ee=(J･ｎ2/182)・(Td/Td-Tl)
      Deceleration stop　Eb=(J･ｎ2/182)・(Td/Td+Tl)

  5. Calculation of the power

    • 1)　when there is no load torque.
      Pe=Pb=(J･ｎ2/182)・(Nc/60)
    • 2)　In the case of the load torque
      Start acceleration　Pe=(J･ｎ2/182)・(Td/Td-Tl)･(Nc/60)
      Deceleration stop　Pb=(J･ｎ2/182)・(Td/Td+Tl)･(Nc/60)

  6. Calculation of a life span

    • L=V/w･Ee(orEb)=Et/ Ee(orEb)
