These torsionally stiff, light weight couplings are capable of transmitting high torques at high speeds while accepting significant levels of angular, radial, and axial misalignment. They are easy to install, suitable for hostile environments, require no lubrication and feature a high torque to weight ratio. Specific designs are available which meet the customer’s exact requirements. Standard units are compliant with API 671 (American Petroleum Institute) and ATEX 94/9/EC.

No maintenance
   
Standard and reduced moment designs available
   
Capable of being torsionally tuned to suit specific machinery requirements



Automatic engagement and disengagement
   
Delayed engagement produces a “no load start”
   
No slippage at full running speed
   
Controlled soft-start acceleration
   
100% efficient at rated speed
   
Standard, spring control, and deep pocket models
   
Protection against shock loads during start-up



Boston Gear's 800 Series contains a focused selection of compact, heavy duty helical gear drives that offer long-life performance and simplified maintenance. The 800
Series provides a functional
interchange for SEW Eurodrive
and other European manufacturers' helical gear drives, making it uniquely practical for replacement
applications.

The Model LKT clutch or brake contains identical features to the Model LK unit, with the exception being the cylinder/piston arrangement. The Model LK has a full cylinder covering its entire outboard end, the Model LKT has a doughnut type cylinder which allows it to be mounted in a through-shaft arrangement as an air set brake. It can be also be mounted end-shaft as a clutch. This is a dry, disc type application.




The Model HC is an oil-immersed clutch designed for end-shaft, or through shaft mounting configuration. The compact size of the HC makes these units ideal for incorporation within a gear housing. Multiple speed transmissions use a variety of these units to affect fixed mesh speed changes. The Model HC may be used as a stand-alone device for disconnects service, or conveyor soft starts.
Features include:

Pneumatic or hydraulic actuation.
   
Clutch torque capacities range from 55,000 to 1,275,000 pound-inches.
