PC Series Electromagnetic Magnetic Particle Clutches

Sample image only. Product may differ
Ogura’s PC Series Electromagnetic Magnetic Particle Clutches are designed for applications requiring controlled torque transmission with smooth slip characteristics.
The clutch uses magnetic particles to transfer torque, allowing proportional control based on applied current. This enables stable and repeatable torque output independent of rotational speed. Compared to smaller particle clutch series, the PC series provides higher torque capacity while maintaining precise control characteristics.
The units operate on 24 VDC and are built for integration into industrial systems requiring consistent tension or load control. The design supports shaft-mounted configurations with standard keyway connections for straightforward installation.
