Industrial Mechanical Clutches

For over a century The Carlyle Johnson Machine Company has manufactured quality industrial mechanical clutches and power transmission products. We offer a variety of standard industrial mechanical clutches, all of which can be modified to meet your needs and requirements.

Our mechanical clutch models are available with torque ranges from 10-2400 lb. ft. (torque depends on clutch model), though mechanical clutch units with customized torque are also available. We also offer a range of mechanical clutch HP capacities, and our exclusive "floating disc packs" that reduce drag, abrasion and heat built-up in neutral, while also providing consistent release.

Many of our industrial mechanical clutches are available in single or double designs, and can be customized to meet your exact specifications. Our experienced engineers are ready to design and manufacture the custom mechanical clutch you need, or build a complete power transmission system. For more information on designing your industrial mechanical clutch please visit our clutch and brake guidelines.

Mechanical Clutch Services

CJM's overload release clutch is designed for easy, on-line adjustment, allowing users to compensate for wear, and to adjust release settings over a wide range of torque values.

MOR and ORI mechanical clutch models are available in single-position and multiple position units, to provide accurate registration. Limit switches can also be incorporated into the power input line. This type of overload release clutch may be used on a continuous shaft, or as a cut-off coupling type for connecting two shafts.

Special overload release shifters are also available, for clutch sizes 20 – 26. Shoes and studs are available for all sizes, including 27 and 28, for riveting into shifter yokes that have been designed by the customer.

Carlyle Johnson can furnish the overload release mechanical clutch with ring type drive cup and hub adapters as a complete package designed for your application.
