High Torque—Small Envelope
PROBLEM

Most of us are not usually designing machine guns, however, they do represent some unique requirements: high torque, limited space and lightweight. A company developing a chain gun approached us. They needed a clutch and faced all of these constraints.
SOLUTION

We reviewed their parameters and were unable to come up with a friction clutch to meet their need. The only option was a tooth clutch. We were able to come up with a relatively standard and available design. Hopefully, we will end up in the final version. So, no matter what you are developing, maybe we can help.
