Residential, TG-2000, and Commercial MagStops
are available in a range of torque capacities. The
®
MagStop
name comes from the permanent
magnet brake (magnetic stopping) rather than
conventional spring activated mechanical brakes.
In addition to these general procedures, any
applicable OEM general and safety procedures
must also be followed.
Failure to follow these
instructions may result in product damage,
equipment damage, and serious or fatal
injury to personnel.

MagStop®Bearing Mounted Electric Clutch and Clutch/Brake Assemblies and Operation
Components: (See Figure 1 on page 5.)
1. Rotor Assembly
Generally, the input of the clutch. Includes
a keyed hub which mates with the keyway in
the crank shaft. The rotor transmits the torque
from the crankshaft (driving shaft) to the
armature assembly (output).
2. Armature Assembly
Generally, the output of the clutch. Consists of
a disk, springs and pulley (or output flange).
With power applied the armature transmits
torque from the rotor to the driven load. Power
from the armature disk is transmitted to the
pulley or flange by means of the leaf springs.
3. Field Assembly
The clutch “power” source contains the coil
which generates magnetic attractive force.
4. Brake Poles
The two permanent magnets and plates
affixed to the field shell provide the brake
torque when the clutch is disengaged.
Brake poles are not present if the assembly
is a clutch only.
Optional Washer
A single .250 inch (6.35 mm) minimum thick steel
washer must be used between the clutch and the
crank shaft retaining bolt if the D-drive spacer is
not used.
A washer less than .250 inch
(6.35 mm) thick will deform and allow the
clamping load to be lost, resulting in damage
to the clutch and/or the crankshaft and
possible personal injury due to clutch
separating from the shaft. Multiple thinner
washers are not acceptable.
5. D-drive Spacer
A hub that is inserted into either armature
or field bearing (see Figure 2). The head
has flats that can be held with a wrench to
prevent rotation of the crankshaft when
tightening the mounting bolt (see Figure 5).
This hub also takes the place of the standard
retaining washer.
6. Anti-rotation Slot
Anti-rotation Slot (used with OEM’s
anti-rotation device) prevents MagStop from
rotation with crankshaft. If the field is bolted
rigidly or if its axial movement is restricted
the bearing in the field assembly will be
improperly loaded and may fail. Use OEM
supplied anti-rotation.

REQUIREMENTS
for a Successful Clutch
Application/Installation
Critical Requirements
The two most important requirements for a
successful clutch application or installation
are:
1. Antirotation device must allow both axial
and radial free-play!
Failure to allow this free-play will result
in field bearing failure. The greater the
restriction the faster the bearing will
fail!
2. Mounting bolt torque to be
minimum of:
•3/8 -24 UNF use Grade 8 bolt torqued
to 40-45 lb.-ft.
(Grade 5 bolt is unacceptable)
•7/16-20 UNF Grade 5 or 8 bolt torqued
to 50-55 lb.-ft.
(Grade 5 or 8 bolt is
acceptable)
•M 10 X 1.50 Class 10.9 torqued to
55-60 N-m
Note: All values are for dry (unlubricated)
plated bolts, please consult fastener
manufacturer if any type of locking element
(thread lock compound, patch etc.) is to
be used.
Failure to adhere to these requirements
will result in the failure of the clutch!

Troubleshooting Checklist (Continued)
D. Symptom: Noisy clutch/Vibration
ProblemPossible CausesSolution
Failed bearing•Loose mounting (bolt not torqued properly)• Replace (see Mounting Figure 3, page 7)
• Field assembly movement restricted• Confirm proper Anti-rotation
(see Anti-rotation, Figure 4, page 7)
Adapter plate rattles against• Some noise is normal• If noise is excessive, repair or replace

Specifications. See Anti-rotation,
Figure 4, page 7).
Clutch loose on shaft• Loose mounting (bolt not torqued properly)• Tighten mounting bolt to specification.

Broken Spring• Loose mounting• Replace clutch
A clutch with broken rivets or springs may separate from the shaft and cause personal injury.
Burnishing Procedure when installing a
®
new MagStop
This procedure should be performed with the load
attached (mowing deck, snowblower,
pump etc.)
Note: Do NOT add additional load
(e.g. cutting grass).
1. Run engine at full throttle and engage load
bringing load to full speed then disengage load.
2. Let load come to a full stop then engage again.
Clutch/Brake
3. Repeat these procedures (1 and 2) 10
times. After burnish procedure is complete,
to maximize deck drive train life, always
engage clutch at half throttle.

Electrical Evaluation
Meter
Meter
Step 1. How to Measure Clutch Coil resistance
See Figure 5)
(
1. Turn engine and PTO switch off.
2. Disconnect clutch at clutch connector.
3. Select meter setting for ohm reading.
4. Connect meter leads to clutch.
5. Check meter reading and refer to the chart
below for correct clutch resistance reading.
(values are @ 68°F.)
If reading falls in acceptable range proceed
to step 2, if not replace the clutch.
Step 2. Measure the supply voltage at the clutch
(See Figure 6)
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect meter leads at the clutch connector.
3. Select meter setting for voltage reading.
4. Make sure wires will not become entangled
in rotating components of clutch.
5. Start engine and engage PTO switch.
6. Measure voltage across the leads at
the connectors.
7. Voltage should be 12-14 volts DC. If clutch
still fails to operate, replace clutch.
8. If voltage is not within 12-14 volt range
consult EOM’s service manual.
