| | The Flaton Clutch Division of Bushman Equipment manufactures torque limiting clutches designed for high torque capability in slow speed applications. Flaton's compact designs have a high degree of repeatability and are available in a variety of configurations, including clutches with demountable hubs, extended hubs, flexible coupling, and others.
When a power transmission system is subject to sudden or excessive loads, Flaton Clutches prevent twisted shafts and broken gears, sprockets and chains. Once the unit is adjusted and locked, the clutch will slip automatically if the load exceeds the predetermined torque setting. When the overload is relieved, the clutch resets automatically and is ready to carry a normal load once again.
Flaton Clutches operate both clockwise and counterclockwise and function efficiently at moderate and low speeds to less than one rpm.
