Extend Belt Life, Improve Control With Mechanical Disc Clutches
Mechanical disc clutches are easy add-ons to a multitude of uses from belt tightening to engaging and disengaging equipment. The long-proven, simple design eliminates wear caused by belt tighteners. Georgetown Hydraulics makes 8 models of mechanical disc clutches for use with 5 to 40 hp engines.
  “They can be used to replace belt tighteners for longer lasting belts, used on line shafts or on engines,” says David Ash, Georgetown Hydraulics. “All pulleys are A/B combination for use with either A or B type belts. Some models are available with stub shafts or direct drive hook ups.”
  Ash says clutches need to be sized properly for the application. Customers should call to review how they plan to use the clutch to ensure they get the right size.
  “Prices range from $198 to $896,” says Ash. “The higher the horsepower, the heavier duty and the more expensive the disc clutch needed.”
  Georgetown zinc-plates the clutches for rust resistance. Ash says they can be controlled either by cable or air cylinders. He says they are popular with wood shop operators with tools operating off line shafts. They are also popular with farm equipment and powered implements.
