Clutches

Mobile Clutch for 24mm solid sharf pump

Typical Mobile Clutch – Water Pump ApplicationsIn typical water pump applications, the clutch is mounted on the input shaft of the water pump. Since the clutch has an integral pulley, a belt is used as the input to the clutch. This belt is normally driven directly from an electric motor or a gas/diesel engine. When there is no power to the clutch, the water pump does not not engage; however when power is activated, the clutch drives the water pump to initiate water flow. In this application, the GP clutch is mounted directly to a General Pump by using an adapter plate.

Used in Carpet Cleaning, Texture Spray Machines, High Pressure Pump applications.

Reasons for using an Electromagnetic Clutch

• Reduced horsepower consumption from the engine
• Extended pump life
• Less Cost
• Simple installation
• Operator convenience
• Cold weather starting

General Pump Mobile Clutch Design Advantages

• Solid forged rotor.A one-piece solid forged rotor means no chance of internal parts separation. They have an even wall thickness around the coil which gives optimum flux distribution, maximising torque
• Different coil voltages available.12 volt is the most common; 24 volt clutches are also available.
• High temperature, longer-life grease.Our special long-life grease has shown a significant inprovement in life over other standard high temp greases.
• E-coating.Where possible, all parts in the clutch are e-coated to give maximum corrosion protection.
• High-temperature epoxy coil.To help prevent failure from vibration and outside contaminants, all coils are sealed in the coil shell with a high-temperature epoxy coating.
• Forged machined pulley.All GP models use a heavy-duty machined pulley. A stronger pulley resists damage due to abusive environments.
• Clutches are also available mounted on a General Pump. Please contact your sales representative.
