Ogura mobile

Mobile, PTO and Engine Clutches

Ogura’s mobile clutches switch pumps, compressors and implements on and off from the cab or the operator’s seat. They started as air-conditioning compressor clutches and now drive hydraulic, water and vacuum pumps, service-truck compressors, mower decks and engine-driven machines.

How it works

How It Works

Engaging

Power to the coil turns it into an electromagnet. The magnetic flux crosses a small air gap and pulls the armature hard against the friction face, so the two turn together – electrically switched, but transmitting torque mechanically.

Releasing

Switch the power off and springs pull the armature back, opening a small air gap so the parts turn freely. Cycling is just switching the coil on and off; once engaged there is no slip, so torque transfer is 100% efficient.

Why Ogura mobile clutches

Built for Rough Work

Solid Forged Rotor

One piece – nothing to separate – with even walls for maximum torque.

Sealed Coil

High-temperature epoxy keeps out vibration damage and dirt.

Corrosion Protection

E-coated parts and long-life, high-temperature grease.

Soft Start Option

Smart clutch control for a gentler engagement and overload protection.
