Posidyne X Class Clutch Brakes
Out Perform Competitive Clutch Brakes at a Lower Cost
Valued Engineered for the Highest Performance at the Lowest Cost per Cycle Meets Hazardous Duty Requirements
The Posidyne® X Class Clutch/Brakes are designed and tested to operate over 20 million trouble free cycles with only occasional oil changes and no adjustment - ever! This unheard of life expectancy allows the Posidyne® X Class Clutch/Brakes to be used on applications previously thought impossible to do using a clutch/brake.
How many cycles do you require to meet your machines design life? Use the total Life Cycle Calculator shown below to determine expected life for your application.
The new Posidyne® X Class Clutch/Brakes let you eliminate the typical line stops, the frequent clutch/brake repairs and replacements. Here’s the reliability you need for today’s 24/7 manufacturing demands. Here’s speed and precision that can let you run at higher cycle rates and quality levels, or design new machines for higher performance.
The Posidyne X Class clutch brakes are value engineered that are affordable for OEM equipment builders providing top of the line equipment.
Oil Shear Technology - 5 to 10 Times Longer Life
Typical Applications include;

No Adjustment—No Maintenance
Totally Sealed—Washdown Duty
Clutch Brake Life Cycle Calculator
The Posidyne X Class clutch brakes are designed for maximum life with little to no maintenance. Especially when performing high cycles 100, 200, or ever 300 cycles per minute popular dry friction clutch brakes require constant adjustment repair and replacement. Many competitive units will only operate 1 million to maybe 5 million cycles, probably with some repair or adjustment. This number may be much lower in high cycle applications when heat will degrade the unit for early failure.
The Posidyne X Class clutch brakes are designed for 20 million to 40 million cycles and can handle the heat load of high cycle applications. Applications as high as 300 CPM operating 24/7 are successful.

Posidyne X Class Performance Comparison
The Posidyne X Class clutch brake is not a servo, however it can often be used where the highest servo performance or complexity is not required, but performance beyond that or ordinary clutch brakes is. The Posidyne X Class cycles faster, stops more accurately, and provides years of trouble free service. And you do not need a servo guru on staff.
A washdown option is available for the Posidyne 1.5. It includes stainless steel mounting hardware, nickel plated shaft, and non-corrosive breather and sight gauge. The housing can be coated with white epoxy, or the popular Steel It epoxy.
Manifold Mounted Valve
Add the convenience and performance of a Manifold Mounted Valve. Mounting the valve directly on the unit eliminates extra plumbing, improves response time, increases cycle rate, and improves positioning accuracy. A Manifold Mounted Valve with adapter is available from Force Control Industries, Inc. for use on all units.
Extended Input Shaft
For applications where a belt or chain drive may be required on the input, a male input shaft assembly is available to convert the quill input to an extended shaft. It consists of a mounting plate with a bearing and stainless steel shaft that bolts to the C-Face mounting flange. The shaft is then locked into the Split Clamped Quill.
Foot Mounting Kit
A Foot Mounting Kit is available for the Coupler Brake. The Foot Mounting Kit includes two feet that bolt onto the coupler brake. They are made of heavy gauge steel for the XB1 and XB2, or cast iron for the XB3 and XB4, and hard coat epoxy coated.
