Solutions for Groundcare & Turf-care

Applications in the Groundcare & Turf-care Sector


Electromagnetic clutches, brakes, and flexible couplings play a crucial role in enhancing the performance, safety, and efficiency of machinery used in the Groundcare & Turf-care sector. Here's how each component contributes:

Electromagnetic Clutches


Function:

Enable or disengage power transmission from the engine to various implements or attachments on-demand.

Common Uses:

  • Lawn mowers & ride-on mowers: Control the engagement of cutting decks and blades with precision.
  • Aerators & dethatchers: Enable or disable rotating tines or blades without stopping the engine.
  • Sweepers & vacuums: Allow selective activation of brush and suction mechanisms.

Electromagnetic Brakes


Function:

Provide controlled stopping or holding torque to rotating components, enhancing safety and operator control.

Common Uses:

  • Slope mowers & bank mowers: Offer emergency braking and parking capabilities on inclines.
  • Tractor-mounted attachments: Provide quick stop functionality for spinning or dangerous components like rotary brushes or tillers.
  • Remote-controlled turf machines: Ensure precise stop/start functions, especially on sensitive terrain like golf courses.


Flexible Couplings


Function:

Transmit torque between shafts while compensating for misalignment and absorbing vibrations.

Common Uses:

  • Mower decks and PTO shafts: Ensure smooth power transfer and protect against mechanical shock loads.
  • Soil-preparation equipment: Reduce stress and wear on drive systems in rotary tillers and seeders.
  • Irrigation systems:  Maintain alignment and smooth rotation in pump drives.

Typical Groundcare & Turf-care Applications


  • Ride-on mowers
  • Aerators & dethatchers
  • Tractor-mounted rotary brushes or tillers
  • Remote controlled turf machines
  • Sweepers & vacuums
