Posidyne Foot Mounted Oil Shear Clutch Brakes
The Answer to Severe Heavy Duty Indexing
Torque 500 Lb. In. to 79,000 Lb. In.– up to 500 Horsepower
The Foot Mounted Posidyne Clutch Brake featuring Oil Shear Technology is oldest the most flexible Clutch Brake in the line. Beginning in 1969 thousands of Posidyne clutch brakes have been producing products around the world. Applications ranging from mining, lumber, and steel to food processing, packaging, and meat packing.
The Posidyne Clutch Brake is available as C Face (smaller sizes), Long Coupled C face (C Face with coupling), Foot Mounted, and Piggy Back (mount the motor on top). The Posidyne comes as a Clutch brake or clutch only. Various logics which is the combination of spring set brake and pressure set brake.
Cooling options include basic, fan cooled, water cooled, oil to air external cooling, and forced lube cooling. Other options include manifold mounted valves, optical encoder, and many custom shaft styles (splined, metric, double keyway).
Other options include Washdown (food processing), Marine Duty (marine and ports), encoders, and vertical or horizontal mounting.
All Posidyne Clutch Brakes feature our world renowned Oil Shear Technology to eliminate regular maintenance, reduce cost, and increase production.

Transmission fluid is drawn out of the unit, circulated through an external oil-to-air heat exchanger (oil-to-water is available), through a filter and back into the unit. This system provides the ultimate life for the clutch brake in addition to handling extremely high thermal loads. |
Transmission fluid is pumped through the center of the output shaft, drawn out of the unit, circulated through an oil-to-water heat exchanger (oil-to-air is available), through a filter and back into the unit. This Forced Lube Cooling Unit system provides the ultimate heat dissipation continuous slip applications. |
Oil Shear Technology—When Reliability is Critical
The manifold mounted valve mounts directly on a machined surface on the Clutch Brake. This improves response time and positioning accuracy significantly by eliminating long hoses from the valve to the unit. It also reduces installation time and provides a cleaner package. |
All Posidyne Clutch brakes can be modified for washdown duty (USDA H-2) often found in food processing applications. Steel-It epoxy coatings on the housing, stainless steel fittings, nickel plated shafts, non corrosive breathers and sight gauge and bio-degradable fluid is included. |

All Posidyne Clutch brakes can be modified as marine duty. Modifications include Steel It epoxy coatings on the housing, stainless steel fittings, nickel plated shafts, and non corrosive breathers and sight gauge. Bio-degradable fluid is also included. |
An Optical Encoder can be furnished for improved positioning, when used with one of the CLPC Series Closed Loop Positioning Controls. The Encoder mounts on the output shaft, and includes a home position for single revolution applications. |
