Force Control Offers Full Lineup of Washdown Clutches and Brakes
Force Control Industries’ offers a full lineup of motor brakes, clutches, and clutch-brakes in washdown configurations for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical processing applications. MagnaShear and Posistop motor brakes and Posidyne clutches and clutch-brakes are totally enclosed with heavy duty, cast housing which offers additional protection against moisture, water, saltwater, caustic spray, and chemicals. Nickel-plated housings and shafts provide resistance to corrosion, and external stainless steel external hardware, shaft collars and conduit boxes afford similar protection. Non-metallic elements such as breathers and sight gauges further eliminate corrosion. A Steel-It epoxy coating system, with a unique stainless-steel leafing pigment, protects the housing from common moisture and chemical agents, as well as ultraviolet rays, chemicals, oils, alkalis, food acids, water immersion, abrasion, and high-pressure wash down. This protective washdown package is ideal for aggressive environments found in food and chemical processing facilities, meat packing plants, bottling plants, and more.
