Logan Hi-Lo Retrokits and Hi-Speed Conversion Kits
for Your Mechanical or Hydraulic New Britains!

New Logan Hi-Lo Retrokits and Hi-Speed Conversion Kits for your New Britain increase your machines daily and weekly output from 10%-20% - leaving you room for additional capacity, productivity and profitability. Positive, fast-acting Logan Clutch engagement enables your New Britain to change speeds much faster, and provides a more consistent and accurate cycle time than conventional mechanical clutch methods.

New! Roll Clutch Removal Feature Increases Productivity

Mechanical Roll or Rollaway clutches have a tendency to slip and grab at different points during speed changes and indexes. This causes expensive tool breakage and downtime when the machine goes past low-point in high-speed. Because Logan clutches improve cycle time repeatability, our new low speed clutch feature replaces the old-style roll clutch. This enables set-up personnel to position tools closer to the work piece, further reducing dwell time and overall cycle time.


Hi-Lo Retrokit Features:

  • Reduces idle time between speed changes.
  • Replaces mechanical clutches, roll clutch, band brake and linkages with fast-acting air-actuated Logan Clutches.
  • Positive, crisp Logan Clutch engagement guarantees cycle time repeatability.
  • Simplifies clutch maintenance - No disc pack adjustment or slippage.
  • Quick-stop, power-applied brake Prevents machine coasting.
  • New! Low-speed clutch design reduces idle time - Machine operates more consistently.

Savings:

  • Increase productivity from 10-20%.
  • Tools can be positioned closer to the work piece due to repeatable high and low-speed clutch engagement.
  • Better machine utilization - More productivity from existing machines, operators and floor space.
