The Two-Speed Drive consists of a clutch and a brake, including an integral slow speed inching drive, mounted on the accessory end of a motor. This drive is normally used as a brake motor where inching, or jogging, is required, a feature which is very useful for set-up, high speed/feed speed/retract, positioning, or inching out of a jam. They are available in 3 different models, In-Line, C-Flow, And TSDrII, ranging from 1- 1/2 up to 30 horsepower.
The operation of the Two-Speed Drive Type II centers around the bearing mounted four lug shaft with attached worm gear. The multiple disc stack carried by the four lugs controls the interface between the high speed, low speed, braking and torque limiting operations of the drive.
The multiple disc stack is enhanced by Force Control's unique oil recirculation feature. This increases the capacity of the multiple stack to dissipate heat, which enhances the life and reliability of the drive.
