INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read your Overload Clutch InstallationOperation Instructions thoroughly before
operating the unit, for your safety and the
protection of your unit.
2. CAMCO Overload Clutches are designed to
protect the Index Drive only and will not
protect against bodily injury.
3. Double check to be sure the power is off
and cannot be turned on while working on
the equipment.
4. Use extreme caution with jammed or unbalanced loads, which when cleared may set
the machine in motion.
5. Keep all objects such as hands, clothing,
tools away from rotating or moving parts.
6. Use safety glasses or equivalent to protect
your eyes.

7. Dowel pins and mounting screws must not
protrude from the drive plate or driven
member as the clutch could become a solid
coupling.
8. High humidity, contaminants, or wash down
applications may cause rust within the
clutch, resulting in operational failure.
Lubricate every six months or more frequently as the application requires.
9. The CAMCO clutch is not a "FAIL SAFE"
device and cannot be used on "overhauling"
or "holding" load applications.
The above list includes major safety points to
be observed, but should not be considered as
limiting in safety precautions to be followed.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
CAMCO Overload Clutches are designed
for mounting on the output member of the
CAMCO Index Drive. An Index Drive is essentially a variable ratio speed reducer. Each index
provides an incremental output to input torque
ratio, which may range from 1:1 in the center of
the motion, to as high as 1000:1 in the beginning or end of the motion. As output torque
equals input torque times the ratio, a clutch
mounted on the input side provides no protection at the beginning or end of the motion.

CAMCO Overload Clutches provide zero
backlash, high rigidity, low inertia and are
specifically designed to be used in conjunction
with CAMCO Index Drives.
Power is transmitted from the Index Drive
through the body of the CAMCO Overload
Clutch. The body contains spring loaded
tapered plungers that engage in mating tapered seats in the drive plate. (See Fig. 1.)
Torque settings are determined by the pressure
the calibrated springs "seat" the plungers.
When an overload occurs, which exceeds the
torque setting of the clutch, the breakaway
friction between the tapered plunger and the
tapered seat, forces the plungers outward from
their seats. The movement of the plungers
elevates the detector plate, actuating the limit
switch. (See Fig. 2.)
The CAMCO Overload Clutch always resets in
its original position, making it an excellent
choice on applications that must remain
registered or timed.

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHRINK DISCS
Shrink Discs are supplied ready for installation. However, prior to tightening of locking
screws it is necessary to remove wooden
spacers located between outer collars, which
are used during shipment of Shrink Discs.
INSTALLATION
Important: Never tighten locking screws
before shaft installation, since inner ring of
Shrink Discs as well as hub can be permanently contracted even at relatively low
tightening torques.
Outer Collars
Hub
Inner Ring
Metrix Hex Head Locking Screws
DIN 931, Grade 10.9
IMPORTANT!
Carefully Clean
Shaft & Hub Bore
& Keep Free of Any
Lubricant
Shaft
1 Clean hub O.D. and Shrink Disc bore and
lightly lubricate hub O.D. before assembly
of Shrink Disc on hub.
2 Carefully clean shaft and hub bore from
any lubricant prior to mounting hub onto
shaft. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT,
since it will greatly affect the torque
transmitting capability of a Shrink Disc
connection.
3 After checking correct position of Shrink
Disc and hub, handtighten 3 or 4 equally
spaced locking screws and make sure that
outer collars of Shrink Disc are in a parellel
position. Afterwards handtighten rest of
locking screws.
4 Use torque wrench and equally tighten all
screws one after another in a clock or
counterclockwise sequence by approx.
1/4 turns (even if initially some screws will
require a very low tightening torque) until
specified tightening torque MA is reached.
NOTE: To compensate for bolt setting
during installation, a 5% higher than
specified tightening torque is recommended for final tightening round.
5 Reset torque wrench and make sure that
no screw will turn at specified tightening
torque M
.
A
NOTE: It is not necessary to check tightening
torque again after installation is completed or
equipment has been in operation.
REMOVAL
1. Loosen locking screws in several stages by
using approx. 1/2 turns, following either a
clock or counterclockwise sequence till Shrink
Disc can be moved on hub. DO NOT remove
locking screws completely.
2. Make sure any rust buildup in front of hub
is removed before hub is pulled from shaft.
RE-INSTALLATION OF SHRINK DISC
In relatively clean operating conditions, Shrink
Discs can be re-used without prior cleaning.
Severe conditions, however, require thorough
cleaning and re-lubrication with the following
or similar lubricants:
Tapers of inner rings and outer collar
bores: Molykote 3321 R-spray or
Molykote G RAPlD-spray or paste
Screwthreads and head contact area:
Multipurpose grease like Molykote BR-2
Damaged O-rinqs should be replaced.

Page 9
CAMCO CLUTCHES are precision assemblies
and should not be modified. Modification of the
clutch will VOID THE CAMCO WARRANTY.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Clutch operation in dusty or corrosive environments may require special preparation.
Contact CAMCO for special modifications.
2. On applications other than the output of a
CAMCO Index Drive, clutch speeds must
not exceed 100 RPM.
3. High humidity, contaminants, or wash
down applications may require special
protection. If rust forms within the clutch, it
may act as a solid coupling and will not
release under overload conditions. Lubricate every six months or more frequently
as the application requires.
Caution: Lubricate the spring pockets with
a light film to grease. Heavy lubrication of
the spring pocket may lock the plunger, due
to hydraulic pressure, preventing clutch
disengagement.
4. Use bronze bushings on sprockets, dials,
gears or pulleys when used at the high end
of the speed range (100 RPM) to reduce
wear. Special bronze flange plates are
available.
5. Clutch couplings require accurate shaft
alignment of .003" TIR. Insure that a clearance gap is maintained between the body
and the drive plate around the full circumference to the clutch (Type FC, C).
6. Use flange mounted clutches and clutch
couplings whenever possible. These
models provide superior mounting reliability (Type D, F, FC).
7. Dowel pins should not protrude from the
drive plate or driven members, as they may
lock against the adjacent surface.
8. Do not operate without the detector limit
switch, electrically disconnecting the prime
mover (motor), as galling of the contacting
surfaces may result.
9. On high inertia applications, braking the
prime mover is recommended, in the dwell
cycle of the INDEX DRIVE, to minimize over
travel.
10. CAMCO recommends using limit switches
with rated travel not exceeding .008" for
actuation.
9. On high inertia applications, braking the
prime mover is recommended, in the dwell
cycle of the INDEX DRIVE, to minimize over
travel.
10. CAMCO recommends using limit switches
with rated travel not exceeding .008" for
actuation.
11. The torque required to re-engage the clutch
is usually 25% of the rating. Contact
CAMCO for special design, anti-friction
materials if the clutch is to be used with
very low torque settings.
12. Never use the clutch with a torque setting
close to the calculated operating torque.
Actual torques may be higher. Torque
spring tolerances and coefficients of friction
vary with temperature and application.
Allow 130% (1.3 service factor) when
applying a CAMCO clutch.
