Clutch Up to 7000 rpm

[delth]

I have an application with dinamic torque measurement and in order to protect my torque transducer(50Ncm) am thinking to use something like a magnetic particle clucth. But the problem is the rpm in my teststand is up to 7000 rpms and I only have fonund Clutch up to 3600rpms

Does anyone has been experienced with some brand of clutch's capable to work at this speeds?


Thanks in advance

Why don't you try a standard high performance auto clutch they will be able to cope with 7,000 + rpm's easily.

I'd guess an automotive clutch bearing alone has more friction than 50 Ncm.

Do you know some brand of this auto clutch?

Maybe try Mayr Transmissions. I've used them on VFD applications with speeds in the region of 11,000rpm on test rigs:
