Ogura’s MZ Series Electromagnetic Tooth Clutches are designed for applications requiring high torque transmission with positive, no-slip engagement. The clutch uses an electromagnetic coil to actuate a toothed engagement mechanism, allowing torque to be transmitted through interlocking teeth rather than friction surfaces.
This design ensures zero slip once engaged, making it suitable for indexing and positioning applications. Engagement occurs when the teeth align, which requires controlled speed conditions during operation. The series supports a wide range of torque capacities and bore sizes, enabling integration into various industrial systems.
The MZ series is intended for applications where precise positioning, repeatability, and high torque capacity are required.
