Tension Control Clutches

Nexen's innovative line of Modular Tension Control Clutches is designed to be the most flexible, maintenance-free pneumatic units available for continuous winding operations. They are ruggedly built to endure the continuous drag and high heat load that tension control demands, yet extremely sensitive and responsive to a wide range of torque requirements.

Nexen's clutches' modular construction allows customers to design a clutch that meets various specific needs.

Key features include:

• Fine torque control for precise tension control of web processes - 500:1 tension control range
• Field and dynamic programming of pressure/ torque characteristics for flexible operations
• Diaphragm operation — no seals to drag or o-rings to stick for great low-pressure performance
• Compact size
• No rotary air unions required — eliminates "gun drilling" shafts.

Nexen's Tension Control Clutches are designed to be used in:

• Converting
• Printing
• Unwinding
• Winding
