What Is A Toothed Pneumatic Clutch?

Pneumatic clutch: An object that causes a rotating thing to rotate by giving a certain amount of pressure a gas to another thing that would otherwise stop.

Structure and working principle of toothed air clutch:
The toothed pneumatic clutch is designed for efficient power transmission and precise control. The core components include the piston, drive chainring, driven chainring, and return spring. When the air path is connected, the piston pushes the drive tooth under air pressure until it is completely mated with the end teeth of the driven tooth to realize the transmission of power.

Advantages of toothed pneumatic clutches:
1) Ingenuity of structural design
The toothed pneumatic clutch is designed for efficient power transmission and precise control. The core components include the piston, drive chainring, driven chainring, and return spring. When the air path is connected, the piston pushes the drive tooth under air pressure until it is completely mated with the end teeth of the driven tooth to realize the transmission of power. This kind of end tooth connection method is not only compact in structure, but also can transmit torque in both directions, so that the transmission torque is large and stable
Decide.
2) Responsiveness and operational sensitivity
Another distinguishing feature of the toothed pneumatic clutch is its fast response time. When the air path is engaged, the clutch engages quickly to deliver instant power. Similarly, after cutting off the air path, the action of the return spring makes the clutch quickly disengage, and this instantaneous connection or separation ability makes the action sensitive and fast, and improves the efficiency of industrial production. Low-speed connection and high-speed operation compatibility toothed pneumatic clutch is suitable for low-speed connection, but is capable of supporting high-speed operation when connected. This characteristic allows the clutch to work stably under different working conditions to meet the needs of various industrial applications.
3) Adaptability to dry and wet environments
The design of the toothed pneumatic clutch allows it to work reliably in both dry and wet environments, which increases its range of applications in different industrial scenarios.
4) Flexibility of split products
In order to meet the needs of different customers, the toothed pneumatic clutch is available in a split product option, which provides greater flexibility and adaptability, allowing customers to choose the right clutch configuration according to the specific application scenario.
5) Maintenance and service life
Toothed pneumatic clutches usually have sealed bearings inside, which means that in most cases, the clutch is maintenance-free. However, under certain operating conditions, it may be necessary to properly replenish the grease every 16 months to ensure the long-term stable operation of the clutch. In addition, choosing the right safety factor is essential to extend the life of the clutch. Overload will reduce the service life of the clutch, so it is recommended to choose a safety factor of 23 times when selecting products.
6) Diversity of installation methods
The toothed pneumatic clutch provides a variety of mounting methods, including shaft mounting, pulleys, timing belts and gears, shaft end mounting, etc., which make the clutch adapt to different mechanical equipment and working environments.

When installing a toothed pneumatic clutch, the following points need to be noted:
1) Avoid using interference force to cause cylinder deviation, so as not to affect the normal operation.
2) Use professional tools to pressurize the hollow shaft tube to avoid knocking on the cylinder or other vulnerable parts.
3) When installing pulleys or gears, ensure that their radial force centers are aligned with the bearing centers of the support bearings to avoid offset affecting the service life.
4) The internal bearings are usually sealed bearings, which are maintenance-free, but under certain working conditions, it may be necessary to replenish the grease every 16 months.
