CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A 4 POLE (DUAL-CIR-
CUIT) ELECTROMAGNETIC SINGLE-DISC FRICTION CLUTCH
EBF series electromagnetically operated single-disc friction clutch are characterized
by their metallic friction surfaces containing 4 magnetic pole faces created from
material with low residual magnetism. These clutches have no slip-rings and are

The said distance to the surrounding components can either be achieved by corre-
sponding air gap or by usage of non-magnetic materials, such as aluminum, brass, etc.
During assembly, ensure minimum possible radial and axial offset in the position of
the components relative to each other. Maximum allowable value would be 0.2 mm.
The variation in the air-gap over the entire periphery should ideally also not exceed
0.1 mm.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

1) EBF Clutch with Cardan shaft connection -- Input drive from the Cardan shaft is transmitted to the output member through the Armature-Hub connected
to it. The input drive is from the Cardan shaft to the Rotor-Support and onwards to the Rotor. The air-gap is set by the Armature Hub locked axially on the
Rotor-Support vide a set of radial ball bearings.

2) EBF Clutch with Stub Shaft & Pulley Output -- Input drive from the Drive shaft is transmitted to the output Pulley directly through the Clutch Armature.
The Bearings with the Spacer in between and the retaining rings in the Pulley mounted on the Rotor-Support maintain the working air-gap.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

3) EBF Clutch with Through-Shaft & Pulley Output -- Input drive from the Drive shaft is transmitted to the output Pulley from the Clutch Armature through the
connected Hub. The Bearings in the Armature Hub locked onto the Rotor-Support ensures the working air-gap.
