                                • The Planox® clutch, type PPT, is switched off pneumatically and is based on the two design features of the PP and PT type clutches. A switching component similar to that installed in the PP type is attached to the extended clutch hub of the PT model. The compressed air is fed axially through the shaft. The axial force generated by this presses against the cup spring packs via the piston, thereby separating the parts within the frictional connection. The clutch is switched off. When depressurized, the clutch is switched on automatically by spring force. This means that when in operation, no actuating medium needs to be constantly present.

                                    • The pneumatically actuated Lutex® LKB is a dry running single plate combined clutch/brake (it is referred to the following text as the C-B-C). Originally developed for use on presses and shearing machines it is particularly suitable for applications where medium and large inertias are to be accelerated or decelerated. The heat resistant properties of the friction surfaces enables the Lutex® C-B-C to achieve the high operating cycle required by presses. Its compact construction allows the C-B-C to be mounted in a very small space between the machine frame and the flywheel.

                                      Torque range to 165 kNm

                                    • Lutex® LS

                                    • The pneumatically actuated Lutex® LS is a dry-operating single-disc clutch/brake combination (called C-B-C below) - a further development of the proven Lutex® LKB. With an increased power density, the Lutex® LS is particularly suitable for considerably higher rotational speed with increased torques. It can be used ideally for the acceleration and deceleration of medium and high mass moments of interia. The high engaging frequencies with the shortest possible engaging times demanded in press design are reliably achieved by the C-B-C with high thermal stressability and a long service life of the special friction linings. The Lutex® LS type series is therefore predestined for press and shear drives, single-stroke or continuous-running operation. Due to its compact construction, the C-B-C can be installed in the smallest of spaces between the machine frame and flywheel.

                                      Torque range from 6 kNm to 52 kNm

                                    • Lutex® HKB and HKBT

                                    • The hydraulically actuated Lutex® HKB is a wet-type (oil), multiple plate clutch/brake combination normally operated at 60 bar. When the HKB is not subjected to oil pressure, the brake is engaged by the pretensioned springs. When the hydraulic oil is fed into the cylinder, the piston overcomes the
                                      spring force and is pressed against the disk set of the clutch. The clutch engages and the brake disk set opens. An overlap of clutch and brake functions is impossible. HKBs are used especially in intermittently operating machines like presses, shearing machines, punch presses and suchlike.

                                      Torque range from 3 kNm to 250 kNm

                                    • FLEXWAVE is a compact harmonic gear reduction mechanism that achieves zero backlash, as well as exceptional positioning accuracy, torque density and repeatability. FLEXWAVE consists of three internal elements – the flexspline, the circular spline and the wave generator. The elasticity properties of the flexspline and the teeth differential between the flexspline and the circular spline result in its unique reduction characteristics.

                                      FLEXWAVE comes in various form factors, including component sets, simple contained assemblies and complete gear units. Cup, hat, solid and hollow input shaft configurations give engineers true freedom in design. FLEXWAVE is also available in Ultra-Flat and High Torque variations for applications with demanding footprint and performance requirements. Dimensions are interchangeable against industry standards, making it easier to implement in legacy equipment. When compared with other gear technologies, FLEXWAVE offers the following advantages:
