OGURA Industrial Electromagnetic Clutches, Brakes, Tension Systems & Blowers

Founded in 1938 in Japan, Ogura Clutch Co., Ltd. is the global market leader in electromagnetic clutches, industrial fail-safe brakes, and precision tension control systems. We supply genuine Ogura MIC micro-clutches, AMC industrial units, MWC multi-disc assemblies, RNB safety brakes, and TX Roots blowers worldwide.

Ogura MIC & MIB High-Precision Subminiature Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes

Ogura subminiature electromagnetic micro-clutches (MIC series) and matching brakes (MIB series) are engineered for precision motion control, rapid cycling, and indexing in compact automation equipment. The backlash-free armature spring mechanism ensures millisecond-fast release with zero drag torque when the electromagnet is de-energized, supporting versatile shaft and pulley mountings.

  • Static torque ratings ranging from 0.05 up to 5.0 Nm (sizes MIC 1.5 through 10)
  • Coil operating voltages: 12V and 24V DC standard low-voltage configurations
  • Ultra-fast dynamic response: engage and release times between 5 and 15 ms
  • Applications: ATM mechanisms, office printers, optical drives, medical analyzers

Ogura AMC & AMB Industrial Single-Plate Friction Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes

Industrial dry-friction single-plate electromagnetic clutches (AMC) and matching brakes (AMB) represent the industry benchmark for heavy cyclic operations. Featuring enlarged friction surfaces, optimized thermal dissipation, and automatic wear take-up, these units withstand aggressive start-stop duty cycles without thermal fade or slippage.

  • Transmissible dynamic torque capacity: 5.5 to 1500 Nm (sizes AMC 2.5 up to 70)
  • Mounting styles: stationary field flange mounting or integrated bearing-supported housing
  • Premium non-asbestos friction lining formulated for long-term continuous service life
  • Applications: packaging machinery, labeling lines, textile looms, conveyor drives

Ogura MWC & MWB Multi-Disc Wet and Dry Electromagnetic Clutches & Heavy-Duty Brakes

Multi-disc electromagnetic clutches (MWC) and brakes (MWB) are designed for transmitting immense torque densities within extremely compact radial dimensions. The hardened multi-disc friction pack operates seamlessly in wet oil-bath gearbox environments or dry industrial drivetrains across machine tools and power turbine assemblies.

  • Nominal torque ratings: 12 to 4000 Nm with ultra-compact outer body diameters
  • Available in slip-ring power feed or stationary field non-contact coil configurations
  • Internal wave separator springs ensure crisp, complete disc separation in neutral mode
  • Applications: machine tool headstocks, marine reversing gearboxes, turbine starters

Ogura RNB & MCNB Spring-Applied Power-Off Safety Brakes for Servomotors & Robotics

Spring-applied power-off safety brakes (RNB and MCNB series) operate on the fundamental fail-safe principle: when electrical power is removed or interrupted, calibrated springs clamp the friction disc to hold loads securely. Energizing the DC coil attracts the armature against spring tension, allowing frictionless rotation.

  • Static holding torque capacity: 0.2 to 800 Nm across models 0.2G through 10G
  • Ultra-rapid emergency arrest: mechanical engagement accomplished under 20 ms
  • Class F insulation rating (155 °C) designed for direct built-in integration inside servomotors
  • Applications: CNC servomotors, robotic articulated joints, stage winches, AGV lifts

Ogura OPC & OPB Magnetic Particle Tension Control Clutches & Continuous Slip Brakes

Magnetic particle clutches (OPC) and brakes (OPB) utilize spherical alloyed ferromagnetic powder to transfer torque across continuous slip differentials. Transmitted torque is strictly linear relative to coil excitation current, delivering smooth, ripple-free web tension control across unwinding and rewinding lines.

  • Controlled torque output: 5 to 800 Nm with exceptional linearity and repeatability
  • Seamless slip-to-lock transitions with zero stick-slip jerk or torsional vibration
  • Cooling options: natural convection, forced-air blower, or heatsink fin configurations
  • Applications: gravure printing presses, slitter rewinders, wire drawing, foil coating

Ogura PHT Series Non-Contact Permanent Magnet Hysteresis Tension Brakes & Clutches

PHT series non-contact hysteresis brakes generate smooth, invariant holding torque purely via magnetic hysteresis realignment inside a multi-pole permanent magnet field. Operating torque remains completely independent of rotational speed from zero to 10,000 RPM, while the friction-free design prevents particulate contamination.

  • Torque range: 0.02 to 5.0 Nm, completely stable regardless of shaft RPM variations
  • Zero friction wearing surfaces eliminating maintenance and particle shedding
  • Certified ideal for cleanroom environments and ultra-fine filament tensioning
  • Applications: optical fiber winding, automated capping heads, wire payoff reels

Ogura MZ & MZA High-Torque Positive Engagement Electromagnetic Tooth Clutches

Electromagnetic tooth clutches (MZ, MZA, and MZE series) deliver positive mechanical locking and massive torque transmission through precision-machined end-face teeth. Energizing the coil pulls the tooth ring into rigid positive lockup with zero slippage, ideal for indexing and heavy industrial equipment.

  • Torque capacities: 25 to 10,000 Nm within extremely compact structural dimensions
  • Tooth profile options: standard bi-directional, saw-tooth, or single-position indexing
  • Designed for engagement at zero speed or matched low-synchronous revolutions
  • Applications: steel rolling mills, rotary indexing tables, printing registration units

Ogura MA, MS & PTO Mobile Air-Conditioning Compressor & Hydraulic Pump Clutches

Ogura mobile electromagnetic clutches (MA, MS, and PTO series) provide reliable on-demand power coupling for automotive air conditioning compressors, hydraulic auxiliary pumps, and PTO shafts on mobile machinery. Hermetically sealed bearings and electrophoretic coating protect against dust, road spray, and vibrations.

  • Operating coil voltages: standard 12V and 24V DC mobile vehicle electrical systems
  • Pulley groove options: single/multi V-belt (A/B) and serpentine poly-V (PK) profiles
  • Integrated thermal fuse protection preventing overheating during compressor lockup
  • Applications: bus HVAC systems, transport refrigeration, agricultural PTO implements

Ogura TX Series Roots Blowers, High-Efficiency Superchargers & Clean Air Pumps

Ogura TX series Roots blowers (TX04, TX12, TX15, TX20) supply clean, pulsation-free air and gas delivery. Precision-machined helical rotors coated with advanced fluoropolymer operate with non-contact micro-clearances, eliminating oil lubrication in the compression chamber for 100% oil-free clean air.

  • Air displacement volumes: 400 to 2000 cc per revolution across modular sizes
  • Integrated electromagnetic clutch enables instant disengagement during idle standby
  • High isentropic thermodynamic efficiency with low discharge air temperatures
  • Applications: hydrogen fuel cell air supply, engine forced induction, pneumatic conveying
