Hilco Motion Control – Industrial Clutches

Controlling motion through engineered solutions. The Hilliard Corporation offers a broad line of industrial clutches—designed, manufactured and sold according to our customer’s specifications. Hilliard’s line of industrial clutches provide dependable solutions to problems of torque control, overload protection, positive engagement and high torque on demand.

TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCHES

Torque limiters and couplings are designed to slip during a torque overload, while still transmitting the adjusted torque. They provide dependable solutions to the problems of torque control and overload protection in power transmission equipment. These clutches include one or more friction discs mounted on an inner hub, a single nut adjustment to easily pre-sets the torque. Similar static and dynamic coefficients of friction provide for extremely smooth torque control.

CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCHES

The Hilliard centrifugal clutch provides automatic, gradual, cushioned engagement over a speed range on high-inertia loads. It smooths out and reduces starting current surge. Centrifugal clutches are slip-free at rated load and speed. They protect against overload by limiting torque, absorbing shock and eliminating torsional resonance. Hilliard centrifugal clutches have soft transmission of power and load free starting. The results are a long service life at an economical price. Other benefits include soft starts, load-free starting and overload protection. Hilliard’s centrifugal clutches are ideal for applications such as fans, blowers, conveyor drives and mills. Our engineering and manufacturing capabilities offer a wide range of choices, from common mounts to custom designs.

EXTREME DUTY SPROCKET CLUTCH

The Extreme Duty Sprocket Clutch is ideal for everyday demands of go-karts and youth-model snowmobiles. A thermo-dynamically designed clutch shoe increases the clutch’s capacity to absorb heat without damaging the clutch springs, resulting in longer life and better reliability.

EXTREME DUTY PULLEY CLUTCH

The Extreme Duty Pulley Centrifugal Clutch is ideal for retrofit or new equipment application. The clutch was designed to be a low-cost upgrade to the current low- priced centrifugal market and is ideal for the everyday demands of chipper, shredders, power trowels, concrete mixers, power screeds, air compressors, lawn and garden equipment and more.
