Type CH Clutches

CH Series Product15Type CH clutches are designed specifically for heavy duty clutch and brake applications and can be air or hydraulically actuated. 

The friction disc packs are suitable for either wet or dry operation. Actuation is accomplished through internal shaft and clutch passages. When used as a wet clutch, coolant oil may be applied as a splash or spray or forced through the friction disc pack from an internal shaft passage. The clutch hub is bored and keyseated for shaft mounting. Torque is transferred from the disc pack to a splined drive ring.

Standard Specifications:

  • Type CH clutches are available in seven sizes with torque ratings from 49,000 lb-in (5532 Nm) to 1,280,000 lb-in (144,000 Nm).
  • Maximum allowable pressure is 200 psi (13,8 bar) for wet operation and 120 psi (8,3 bar) for dry operation.
  • Standard operating speeds are from 1 to 2200 RPM.
  • Stronger release springs are available for disengagement at higher speeds.

 

Modified Standards:

Higher torque ranges, actuation pressures are available to meet customer’s specific design requirements.

 


Advantages:

American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Type Approval

Survey society approved for marine applications requiring independent survey. Other classification society certifications such as Lloyd’s and DNV are also available on a project basis.

 

Self Lubricating Seals

Long-wearing, self-lubricating seals minimize premature twisting failure and require no lubrication, which decreases maintenance costs and downtime. Temperature ranges for standard seals range from -65°F to +300°F (-54°C to +149°C).

 

Long Wearing Components:

The cylinder housing and all splined surfaces are specially treated to minimize wear and increase corrosion resistance.

 

Positive Mechanical Lock-Up “Come Home’’ Feature:

Provides positive engagement for emergency operation.

 

Smooth Engagement:

Sintered Bronze Friction Material, operating in oil, provides a low static-to-dynamic torque ratio for smooth, long-lasting, high-energy performance.
