Flaton Clutches have long been recognized for their high torque capabilities in low speed applications. Flaton’s compact designs have a high degree of repeatability and are available in a variety of configurations.
When a power transmission system is subject to sudden or excessive loads, Flaton Clutches prevent twisted shafts and broken gears, sprockets and chains. Once the unit is adjusted and locked, the clutch will slip automatically if the load exceeds the predetermined torque setting. When the overload is relieved, the clutch resets automatically and is ready to carry a normal load once again.
Flaton Clutches operate both clockwise and counterclockwise and function efficiently at moderate and low speeds, to less than one rpm.

Model DH clutches are designed for applications in which plate sprockets, gears, cams and other parts will be mounted onto the hub of the clutch housing. This design permits removal and replacement of the drive component with minimal downtime.
DHL Clutches with automatic shut-off are designed for applications in which it is necessary to mount plate sprockets, gears, cams, and other parts onto the hub of the clutch housing. The shut-off spool allows for superior torque control when interfaced with a device such as a limit switch.
The Flaton Model E Clutch is designed for the installation of gears, sprockets and similar drive components on the clutch hub.
The Flaton model FC is an adjustable clutch with a built-in flexible shaft coupling assembly. It is used in applications which require flexibility in addition to torque control, for protection against overload.
The Flaton Model FCL is a chain coupling style clutch with a built-in mechanical shut-off spool. This shut-off spool allows for superior torque control when interfaced with a device such as a limit switch.
The Model I Flaton Clutch is constructed with a sprocket or gear as an integral part of the exterior housing. By making the drive component a permanent part of the clutch, its overall size can be reduced.
