Ogura’s OPC-N Series Electromagnetic Magnetic Particle Clutches are designed for applications requiring precise and stable torque control independent of rotational speed.
The clutch uses magnetic particles within the unit to transmit torque, allowing smooth and proportional torque transfer based on applied current. This design enables accurate control of tension and slip without the engagement shock associated with friction-type clutches. The OPC-N series operates on 24 VDC and is available in compact sizes suited for light torque applications. Bore options and mounting configurations support integration into small machinery and control systems.
The series is suited for applications where repeatable torque control and smooth operation are critical.
