What kind of Springs does a slip clutch use?
The most common setup to apply tension to a plate-type slip clutch uses coil springs. Varying the length, wire diameter and strength, and number of springs provides a base for adjustment of the pressure applied to the slip clutch plates. Plate-type clutches also use Belleville washers.
How does a New Holland slip clutch work?
One method is to measure the pressure required to deflect the belt a certain distance. Another common method is a spring, which is stretched to a certain length. On the older New Holland square balers, the pickup belt tension was adjusted to a point, which took a certain amount of pressure to move the belt idler.
How are slip clutch washers installed in Belleville?
Belleville washers can be installed two ways: The washers can either be installed with the concave side of the washers against the slip clutch pressure plate or with the convex side against the pressure plate. When the concave side is against the pressure plate, there will be one or more stacked, all facing the same way.
What should force be on PTO slip clutch?
A common setting for the PTO slip clutch on an older square baler was 2,400 inch-pounds. That translates into a 100-pound force being applied to a bar 24 inches from the center of the shaft (24 inches x 100 pounds = 2,400 inch-pounds).
