CTS Series Constant Torque Slip Clutches

CTS Series, Constant Torque

The unique feature of the CTS series is that the clutch is designed to slip whenever a preset torque limit is exceeded. CTS clutches can also be used to apply drag in a system for tensioning requirements. While standard wrap spring units are designed to drive and/or brake, the CTS clutch is an inexpensive solution when a slip function is needed.
