Compact and smooth. The MAGPOWR Global Series Clutch line represents state-of-the-art magnetic particle technology. The latest materials and components, modern manufacturing techniques and a sleek new design make these clutches the first choice of engineers designing OEM or retrofit equipment. Smooth controllable torque, torque repeatability and torque independent of speed make these clutches suitable for many power transmission and tensioning applications. Long life is assured by polished seal surfaces, high temperature materials and rugged construction. This line features compact size with through bores and all machined housings for ease of mounting.
The clutch consists of two rotating members. The inner member is the rotor, and the outer rotating member is the housing assembly. The rotor is the output member, and it is mounted on a rotating shaft in the machine. The housing assembly is the input member. It is driven by a gear, pulley, or sprocket attached to the mounting rabbet, which is provided on the side of the clutch housing. The rotating coil design offers a very compact clutch with the added advantage of high heat dissipation without an auxiliary blower. No couplings, mounting feet or other attachments are required, since the clutch becomes an integral part of your machine.
This is truly a Global product with the M (Metric) series having full metric bores and keyways, as well as metric mounting hardware and setscrews. Metric dimensioning is provided to support international design requirements. This is the clutch line for the Global marketplace.
Key Features:
Polished, sealed surfaces with rugged construction for longer life
Easy installation/mounting
Compact and sleek
High heat dissipation
"C" Series Magnetic Particle Clutches
Want easy to install, reliable, long lasting performance in a clutch? Then look no further. The MAGPOWR “C” Series Magnetic Particle Clutch is easy to install, made of rugged cast iron for long life and has minimal moving parts so you can mount the clutch, put it to work, and forget about it! The magnetic particle clutch is a very simple, durable device. The magnetic particles are located inside the clutch between the O.D. of the rotor and the I.D. of the drive cylinder. With no current in the coil of this device, the particles are free to lie loosely between the rotor and the drive cylinder. When current is applied to the coil, it sets up a magnetic field in the stator. The magnetic particles line up with the magnetic field and couple the rotor to the drive cylinder. As the current is increased, the magnetic field increases and the coupling increases. This coupling, or torque capacity, is proportional to the amount of current in the coil.
Long life, smooth starts and stops, and silent operation make it perfect for cycling and overload applications. Offered in a variety of mounting styles, you can be assured of finding the proper unit for your machine.

SOFSTEP® Magnetic Particle Clutches
When you need precise torque and tension control, use the original SOFSTEP® clutches with MAGPOWR controls. As the industry leader in tension technology, MAGPOWR is the original SOFSTEP provider. SOFSTEP clutches are available in a variety of sizes with torque rates from 2 to 120 lb-in maximum. They provide smooth controllable torque for power transmission and tension applications.
You'll experience exceptional control with the SOFSTEP clutches. Torque is independent of slip speed and directly proportional to input current. There's also no shock or torque spikes during engagement, so you'll have controlled acceleration of every load.
Key Features:
Fast response - (engagement happens in milliseconds)
Totally enclosed housing - no wear particles to contaminate environment
