Mönninghoff tooth and friction clutches, with either electromagnetic or pneumatic engagement, are available in a range of versions which meet the requirements of all today’s mechanical engineering applications.

Whether it’s tooth clutches with fixed point switching for precise synchronization, rugged pole face friction clutches to be combined with internal-combustion engines or multiple disc clutches for switching at a differential speed and in oil operation – you can obtain an optimum clutch design for practically every application, characterised by compact dimensions, high torque transfer and absolute reliability.

We make it our business to meet the maximum precision requirements of printing machines, packaging machines, textile machines and medical engineering applications, as well as the extremely stringent safety standards for door-mounted operating mechanisms, ski lifts or aeronautical engineering.

Type 450 Pole Face Friction Clutch Type 450 Electromagnetically operated pole face friction clutch with extremely wear-resistant and specially tempered steel-steel friction partners. High torque transmission due to double flux. Without additional friction material, therefore very robust and not vulnerable to dirt and oil.
Type 521 Electromagnetic Disc Clutch without slip ring (ELSa) Type 521 Electromagnetically operated non-permeated disc clutch. Special friction material allows the application for oil running as well as for dry running. The membrane pack is not situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates.
Type 522 Electromagnetic Disc Clutch (ELKa) Type 522 Electromagnetically operated non-permeated disc clutch with slip ring. Special friction material allows the applicaton for oil running as well as for dry running. The membrane pack is not situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates.
Type 532 Electromagnetic Disc Brake (ELKa) Type 532 Electromagnetically operated non-permeated disc brake. Special friction material allows the applicaton for oil running as well as for dry running. The membrane pack is not situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates.
Type 572 Spring-applied Disc Clutch Type 572 Electromagnetically releasing, non-permeated spring-applied disc clutch with slip ring. Special friction material allows the applicaton for oil running as well as for dry running. The membrane pack is not situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates.
Type 501 Electromagnetic Disc Clutch without slip ring, permeated Type 501 Electromagnetically operated, permeated disc clutch for oil running. The disc pack is situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates. The shape of the discs prevents the oil from building up when the temperature drops. The clutches are particularly suitable for switchings with high interchange.
Type 502 Electromagnetic Disc Clutch, permeated Type 502 Electromagnetically operated, permeated disc clutch with slip ring for oil running. The disc pack is situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates. The shape of the discs prevents the oil from building up when the temperature drops. The clutches are particularly suitable for switchings with high interchange.
Type 512 Electromagnetic Disc Brake, permeated Type 512 Electromagnetically operated, permeated disc brake with slip ring for oil running. The membrane pack is situated in the magnetic flux and will be released by spring tabs of the outer plates. The shape of the discs prevents the oil from building up when the temperature drops.
