WALTON, KY, March 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Mach III Clutch, Inc. announces new spring engaged industrial friction clutches for torque transmission in the absence of air pressure or during power-off conditions. Mach III spring engaged clutches are available in both regular duty and heavy duty models offering fixed torque transmission from 506 to 24,375 pound inches. These clutches release when air pressure is applied to overcome the spring pressure. Catalog models currently available mount at the end of the shaft and include a finished pilot for easy mounting of a sprocket or pulley. Spring engaged friction clutches are made to order with bore and keyway sizes specified by the buyer for shaft sizes from 0.625 to 3.5 Inches. Metric sizes are also available.
Mach III is one of a small number of manufacturers offering spring engaged air released industrial clutches. The advantage of a friction design, according to Peter Buckley, the company's Senior Applications Engineer, is that "In contrast with spring engaged tooth clutches which must be engaged at zero or low speed, friction clutches slip slightly when engaged dynamically allowing engagement at any speed." No lubrication or periodic maintenance is required. When worn, friction linings can be replaced in the field.
Features include:
- Soft start engagement
- Enclosed design
- Bored and keyed to suit for easy installation - no bushing required
- No anti-rotation arm is required
- Rotary air union included
Mach III Clutch, Inc., for over 60 years, has designed and manufactured industrial friction clutches, brakes and mechanical torque limiters for industrial power transmission. Mach III specializes in customized designs and works directly with OEM's, distributors and user customers. Mach III products are used in a wide array of industries including theme park attractions, packaging, material handling, narrow web converting, food processing, and aerospace. The company is headquartered in Walton, KY in the Northern Kentucky-Greater Cincinnati area. For more information, contact Mach III at 101 Cummings Drive, Walton, KY 41094. Phone: 859-291-0849.

Bruegger's Bottomless Mug Campaign Raises $90,000 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
2011-03-01
Today, Bruegger's announced that it will donate approximately $90,000 to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals - largely the result of its "Bottomless Mug" campaign, which ran October 27, 2010 through January 31, 2011. Throughout the campaign, the fast casual leader donated a portion of proceeds from sales of the bakery's popular Bottomless Mugs and asked generous guests to donate spare change (and more) during its first-ever Free Coffee Day in November 2010.
The campaign was Bruegger's first national fundraiser to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the ...
Missing chromium is clue to planet formation
2011-02-28
Early in the formation of the Earth, some forms of the element chromium separated and disappeared deep into the planet's core, a new study by UC Davis geologists shows.
The finding, to be published online by the journal Science Feb. 24, will help scientists understand the early stages of planet formation, said Qing-Zhu Yin, professor of geology at UC Davis and coauthor on the paper.
Yin, former postdoctoral scholar Frederic Moynier and Edwin Schauble of the Department and Earth and Space Sciences at UCLA used specialized equipment at UC Davis to make very exact measurements ...
Elderly patients admitted with high glucose levels are more likely to die in hospital
2011-02-28
A two-country hospital study of 808 elderly patients found a strong association between high, undiagnosed blood glucose in non-diabetic patients and increased hospital death rates, according to the March issue of IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
Researchers are now calling for routine blood glucose testing of elderly patients when they are admitted to hospital. The Spanish team looked at 447 consecutive patients admitted to a geriatric unit, while the Italian team studied 361 patients over 60 admitted to an internal medicine department.
They found ...
Stress and tension do not stop fertility treatment from working
2011-02-28
Women undergoing IVF or other assisted reproduction therapy can be reassured that emotional distress caused by their infertility or other life events will not prevent the treatment from working.
Infertility affects up to 15% of the childbearing population and over half of these individuals will seek medical advice in the hope of becoming a parent.
Many infertile women believe that emotional distress (for example stress and tension) is a factor in not getting pregnant naturally or lack of success with fertility treatment. This view is largely based on anecdotal evidence ...
UK stroke care is improving, but inequalities still exist
2011-02-28
The quality of stroke care in the UK is improving, but significant inequalities still exist, warns a new study published on bmj.com today.
Previous reports have suggested that the quality of UK stroke care is improving, but there is limited information on trends of care from population-based studies. So a team of researchers in London assessed the provision of acute stroke care for 3,800 patients registered on the south London stroke register between 1995 and 2009.
They measured the provision of effective acute stroke care, in line with current guidelines, against ...
Solar experts detect waves in giant magnetic holes the size of the UK
2011-02-28
Massive waves in giant magnetic holes on the surface of the Sun have been discovered for the first time by solar scientists from the University of Sheffield and Queen's University Belfast, something that will bring experts a step closer to unlocking the secrets of the Sun.
The Sun is interwoven by a complex network of magnetic field lines that are responsible for a large variety of fascinating features that can be seen in the solar atmosphere. Large, dark regions, which look like holes on the Sun's surface, mark out areas where the magnetic field breaks through from ...
New path to water efficient seeds opens as TIP pips PIP as water gatekeeper
2011-02-28
Research by University of Warwick's School of Life Sciences has opened up a new path to produce water efficient seeds that will be a significant tool to cope with drought resistance, and ensure global food security. The research not only provides the best map to date of the key protein that appears to be the principal gateway for water intake during seed germination - it also actually provides the right map as it appears much of the research to date was focussed on a much less relevant protein.
The research team led by Dr Lorenzo Frigerio looked at two proteins that ...
Qualified Latin American immigrants earn less than similarly qualified Spaniards
2011-02-28
A study by the University of Salamanca (USAL) has looked into how salaries would differ if immigrants were paid in the same way as Spanish workers according to education and experience. The results show that, in higher salary ranges, Latin American immigrants earn around 20% less than their Spanish counterparts.
"In this paper we analysed the salary differences between Spanish workers and Latin American or Caribbean immigrants in 2006", José Ignacio Antón, a researcher at the USAL and co-author of the study, which has been published in the Journal of Applied Economics, ...
IOF calls for action following release of Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit
2011-02-28
A newly published audit report by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) consolidates information on the status and burden of osteoporosis in 21 countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, including the Russian Federation. The landmark report 'Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit – Epidemiology, Costs & Burden of Osteoporosis in 2010' shows alarming projections and reveals the poor status of post-fracture care and osteoporosis management in the region.
IOF President John Kanis called for immediate action, asking all stakeholders in the region to ...
Lack of health insurance limits hepatitis C patients' access to latest antiviral therapy
2011-02-28
New research has determined that patients in the U.S. with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are twice as likely to not have health insurance coverage compared with those without the disease. In fact researchers found only a third of HCV infected Americans have access to antiviral therapy; the remaining are either uninsured or not candidates for therapy due to treatment contraindications. Details of this study are published in the March issue of Hepatology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD).
HCV is the most common cause ...
