Mechanical Torque Clutch

[101Turtle]

I'm currently looking for small (1.65 dia x 1" H)mechanical torque clutchs that will disengage at 3 torque ranges 20 in-lb, 75 in-lb, 150 in-lb). The clutch must be able to be used in CW & CCW. If there is nothing out in the market, what would be the best way of designing this? Would a simple ball and spring pushing against a round shaft with dimples work?

Would suggest you contact a company called Stock Drive Products. If you are in the US their number is 516-328-3300. Or if you are in the UK like me then contact their distributor, Davall Stock Gears, on 01707 283131. Or you could go to the website

They may well be able to help you. All the best.
