DL Series DuraLife Magnetically Actuated Clutches

DuraLIFE Series, Magnetically Actuated

DuraLIFE Series clutches (DL) are electromechanical wrap spring clutches that combine high torque, reliability, and rapid acceleration into one small package at a very competitive cost. This package is offered in two configurations: headed coil or flying leads. Wrap spring technology provides very fast response to bring loads up to speed in less than 3 milliseconds (after spring wrap-down and depending on rpm). The DL-33 is a drop-in alternative for high cost clutches used in office automation applications such as printers and copiers. The long life and reliable performance makes the DL-33 an ideal clutch for many packaging and automotive applications.
