Industrial Clutches | P Series
P Series: Stationary Cylinder for Precise Alignment
|

Sealed Ball Bearings for Positive Lubrication
The P series design is similar to the S series, which is designed for wet operation. The difference between the two models occurs in the bearings. P Series bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed and do not require external lubrication.
Torque ratings are based on the P Series disc pack operating in dry conditions thus requiring lower actuation pressure to achieve relatively high rates of torque.

Hydraulic/Pneumatic Clutch For Dry Operation
|
|
Hydraulic/Pneumatic Clutch For Dry Operation
Operation: Pressurizing the cylinder with fluid or air forces the piston to clamp and lock the friction and separator discs, and release springs. Torque is transferred through the clutch to the drive cup. When pressure is removed, the release springs separate the separator and friction discs and maintain a running clearance between separator and friction disc surfaces. Torque ratings are based on dry operation, thus requiring low actuation pressure to achieve high rates of torque.
Lubrication:
P Series clutches and brakes are designed primarily for dry operation. Bearings are greased and sealed and do not require external lubrication.

A fixed orifice pressure regulated valve should be specified in the system to prevent over-pressurization of any Logan Clutch. The Logan warranty does not cover clutch failure due to over-pressurization. The highest pressure values in the torque tables are maximum ratings for Logan Clutches. All rotating components present a hazardous condition and should be guarded in accordance with OSHA requirements and other applicable laws, regulations and industrial standards.
Logan Clutch Corporation reserves the right to modify product specifications and designs without notice and without incurring obligations. Torque values are based upon disc packs having full contact between surfaces.

Logan Outperforms
Electromagnetic Clutches!
Logan has the design and manufacturing capability to replace existing and obsolete electromagnetic clutches with Logan technology.
Logan vs. Electromagnetic Clutches
-
Transmits more Torque and has higher RPM
capabilities within the same envelope
-
Eliminates residual DC magnetism in disc packs
and bearings-reduces downtime
-
Disc Pack, Bearing Kits and Seal Kits for Logan
clutches are available from stock

-
Clutch weight: Based upon minimum hub bore. Does not include drive cup and friction discs.
-
Cylinder Volume: Upper value units are cubic inches; lower value units are cubic centimeters.
-
Actuating Flow: Based upon an actuating time of 0.1 second. Upper value units are gallons per minute; lower value units are liters per minute.
-
RPM: For higher operating speeds, contact Logan.

HP = 150
Clutch Speed = 800 RPM
Service Factor= 1.3
Available operating pressure = 150 psi.

I. Calculate the torque requirement for the application using one of the following formula:
II. Identify which service factor best identifies your application from the suggested service factor table located at the bottom of this page.
III. Adjust the torque requirement using the selected service factor.
T= Tc . SF or T=Tb . SF
IV. Decide which series best fits your drive.
V. Using the appropriate series torque pressure graph, determine the model size.
Vl. Determine if the Series and models can:
1) Accommodate the shaft and key
2) Operate at the required speed
3) Fit within the available space
Vll. Determine the Drive Cup Mounting
Vlll. Call or fax Logan Clutch Corporation to review your selection and place your order. Application fact sheets are available online or from Logan Clutch.
