Nexen offers clutches in inch and metric mounting dimensions to fit a wide variety of applications.

Nexen's tooth clutches are ideal for:

  • Positioning
  • Reversing/Multiple Speed

  • Braking (Spring-engaged tooth clutches provide ultimate holding when mounted as a brake.)

Available Output Types
