This Performance Data manual provides torque
curves and allowable heat dissipation curves for
Warner Electric's magnetic particle clutches and
brakes. The manual covers clutch models POC,
PHC-R, and PMC. It also covers brake models
POB, PRB, and PTB.
The information in this manual is valuable for
selecting the correct unit for your specific application. For help in calculating your torque or
heat dissipation requirements, please refer to
your Warner Electric Tension Control Systems
Catalog. This catalog also provides additional
information to help you select a clutch, brake, or
control for your application.
Failure to follow these
instructions may result in product damage,
equipment damage, and serious or fatal
injury to personnel.
