HILLIARD

HILLIARD Motion Control Division solves motion control problems economically and efficiently, specializing in industrial clutches such as Mechanical, and Bi-Directional.

The Hilliard Bi-Directional overrunning  industrial clutch can be used in dual drive and dual speed applications. This industrial clutch is designed to drive and overrun in forward and reverse, allowing both drives to stay connected to the load at all times.

Hilliard Single Revolution Clutches have been the standard of excellence since 1936 providing five times the duty life of wrap-spring clutches for indexing, shearing, bending, fastening, loading or similar applications. Each clutch is designed for a service life of 40 million cycles.

The Hilliard Corporation's Intermittent Drive Units (IDU) are packaged mechanical assemblies that produce precise intermittent motion-on-demand from a constantly rotating input. Intermittent Drive Units feature a self-contained lubrication system, making them ideal for dusty, dirty, steamed or washed-down applications. Foot-mounted housings with input and output shafts simplify installation.

Friction Torque Limiters and Couplings are designed to slip during a torque overload, while still transmitting the adjusted torque. They provide dependable solutions to the problems of torque control and overload protection in power transmission equipment.

Industrial mechanical clutches from Hilliard are used for most start and stop applications that require positive engagement and disengagement while providing overload protection. Their simplified no-linkage design offers full control over clutch engagement. These industrial mechanical clutches can be used with multiple power sources, and feature a reliable structure with adjustable torque settings.

Hilliard Overload Release Clutches are designed to provide accurate overload protection and automatically reset after the overload is cleared. The ball pocket design ensures the torque setting remains consistent over time. A pneumatic version is available for adjustable protection on-the-fly.

This easy-to-install, self-contained package includes a solenoid-operated, single revolution clutch with anti-rollback and anti-overrun features. Designed to provide greater life than wrap-spring assemblies, the Hilliard IDA is built to last through millions of cycles.

Hilliard Overrunning industrial clutches are used to transmit power between a shaft and a gear, sprocket, sheave, or pulley mounted on the clutch or to directly connect two shaft ends. The roller type construction of these industrial clutches is one of the oldest over-running, free-wheeling designs.

MT overrunning industrial mechanical clutches combine high torque, high speed capabilities, easy field repair and low cost -- all in a compact size. With most overrunning clutches, shaft size is a major consideration. Wedge Ramp technology allows for greater bore sizes than comparable size industrial mechanical clutches offered by other clutch manufacturers.
