Roller-Ramp (MTR) for Clutch Couplings, Dual-Drive & Turning Gear
Roller-Ramp design for increased reliability
and longer life.
An integral part of many Hilliard motion control products
is our roller-ramp design. The use of hardened cams
and precision-machined rollers, and outer member
maximizes service life.

There is almost no wear during freewheeling operations


because rollers are free to rotate between the outer
member and the inner cam. When the rollers are
engaged, the load falls at random positions on the
rollers. The result is superior service life and reliability.
The MTR is similar to the MT design except the cam
surface is reversed allowing it to be used in multi-

Slip Clutch with Manual Disconnect


The Hilliard slip clutch with manual disconnect
provides the same features as the Hilliard
torque limiter but allows for engagement and
disengagement while running.

Pneumatic Applied Slip Clutch


Hilliard pneumatic applied slip clutches provide an adjustable
torque from zero to full torque rating by varying the applied air
pressure. The clutch can be used as a disconnect and engaged
on the fly. The clutch is adjustable while running to handle higher
start-up torque and lower running torque. The pneumatic applied slip
clutch has the same features and benefits as Hilliard’s torque limiter.

Overload Release Clutches Ball Detent Clutch
The Hilliard Corporation’s family of overload

precise disconnects.

Automatic Cutters
A Hilliard overload release clutch
incorporated into the drive of an
automatic lamination cutter
protects the motor whenever
the feed rolls are jammed or stopped.

Conveyors
A Hilliard overload release clutch is
mounted on the output shaft of a motor used to drive a
conveyor belt. If the conveyor jams, the clutch will
release until the problem is corrected, thus protecting the
motor and other components of the drive assembly.

Jaw Type Overload Release Clutch


The Hilliard jaw type overload release clutch protects driven
machinery from dangerous overloads that may bend or twist shafts
or damage other components. One advantage of this design is
that the clutch completely disconnects the driver from the driven
machinery in an overload situation. The clutch’s special jaw
patterns will allow the clutch to engage in only one position.
This design features a torque range of 100 to 2,000 Lb-Ft
(150 to 3,000 Nm).

Caliper Disc Brake Systems
Hilliard Twiflex Series/Shunt Brakes
Interchangeable. Proven design.
The Hilliard Corporation and Twiflex Ltd. have applied over 70 years of
combined experience to develop the Series/Shunt Caliper Disc Brakes.
Designed as a direct replacement for drum brakes, these brakes require no
modifications to existing AISE mountings. The design is based on the Twiflex
MR-type brake, which has been used successfully for over 40 years in harsh
industrial environments worldwide. It features few pivoted joints, thereby
reducing maintenance and downtime by making installation and service easier.

Braking force on the Series/Shunt brakes is fully adjustable from 1,050


to 4,180 lbs. (4.7 kN to 18.6 kN) to accommodate half-hour and one-hour
duty ratings. (Request bulletin SCR-1 using detachable business reply card

Serving light to heavy duty tasks, these fast-acting calipers are ideal for dynamic
braking applications. Sensitive and rapid response to air pressure levels also makes
them well suited for tension control applications. Friction pads are secured by quick-
release clips. All calipers have spring retraction to insure ample pad clearance when
the brake is released. The MS, MX, GMR and GMX calipers have an interchangeable
series of air thrusters. Most calipers feature simple access for pad removal and have
self-aligning brake shoes to accommodate moderate disc misalignment and axial

Mechanical
These calipers are applied mechanically by means of a lever or hand knob that adjusts
force on the pads, providing an effective economic solution for light drag or tension
where hand setting can give adequate braking control. Powerful lever brakes can be
used with a variety of actuating methods, for example: weight, spring, air, hydraulic or
electric actuators, or hand or foot operated brake levers. (Request bulletin TMC-1 using
detachable business reply card on last page.)
