Hysteresis Capping Clutches

Our capping clutches use a magnetic hysteresis principle. This makes them ideal for bottle capping lines and similar applications. They feature low inertia designs with low maintenance requirements and are suitable for wash down in food, beverage and pharmaceutical environments. By providing torque through a permanent magnetic hysteresis principle no electrical power is required.
Techna's Rimtec hysteresis style bottle capping clutch disengages very smoothly applying highly consistent torque onto the bottle caps. This smooth disengagement within a fully sealed unit increases the life of your machine. Techna's standard design, featuring customised upper and lower flanges, can replace every OEM's headset currently available. Unlike most other disc-style hysteresis clutches, our Techna bottle capping clutch has high resolution and a linear adjustment mechanism with a full 360 degree range.
