Crossgard Overload Clutches & Overload Couplings

The Cross+Morse Crossgard Series of Overload Clutches use sprung loaded balls locked in detents to provide drive and overload control. The balls are random positioned so drive can be engaged in one relative angular position, so ensuring full synchronisation of the drive at all times. In the event of an overload the balls are driven out of their detents to release the torque, and cause axial movement of the pressure plate which can be used to actuate a sensor to isolate the drive. There are three basic types, all of which are also available as flexible shaft couplings. Types are CG, CGX and CGZ.
