Product Details
RS022 Miniature Magnetic Servo Clutch for Servo Gear Protection
Overview
- The miniature servo magnetic clutches from DAGU fit on your servo just like a standard servo horn
- Unlike a standard servo horn, these clutches will slip when excessive force is applied to prevent your servo gears from breaking
- Typical holding torque for the standard configuration is 850g/cm
Features
- The drive plate fits onto the servo horn and holds 4 magnets
- There are two drive plates provided in the kit
- One has 8g and the other 9g molded on the side that faces the servo
- The difference between the two is the size of the spline in the centre
- The mounting plate holds 4 magnets, comes in 3 different shapes and allows various devices to be mounted into de servo just like a normal servo horn
- The glassine, low-friction disk sits between the two clutch plates and combined with the brass sleeve allows the clutch to drive smoothly almost without friction
- The 8 magnets are firmly press fitted into the clutch plates and depending on how you install them the clutch can be configured for 3 different modes of operation
- Hard Lock occurs when the magnets are attracted to each other. Once the magnets stick together they lock and resist being separated
- Soft Lock occurs when the magnets are repelling each other. This provides a soft spring action. Locking occurs when the repulsive force is at it's maximum
- Standard Servo Mode :
- The clutch "hard locks" in place every 180 degrees
- When the clutch slips less than 180 degrees it will spring back into the locked position automatically and relocks
- If the clutch is forced to slip more than 180 degrees then it will attempt to relock 180 degrees from the original position
- Continuous Rotation servo - Hard Lock:
- The clutch "hard locks" every 90 degrees
- This mode works best with wheels where slippage is not normally desirable
- Continuous Rotation Servo - Soft Lock:
- The clutch "soft locks" every 90 degrees
- Soft lock has a spring action and provides maximum protection for your servo gears
- It is best suited for wheels travelling over rough terrain
