Powder clutches (from NKPC-0.3 to NKPC-40) and powder brakes (from NKPB-0.3 to NKPB-40) were characterized by precise torque and tension control technology through DC 0-24V voltage adjustment. The use of spherical powder made from Fe, Al, Cr alloys provided excellent heat resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, ensuring semi-permanent lifespan and long-term maintenance-free operation.Powderclutches(fromNKPC-0.3toNKPC-40)andpowderbrakes(fromNKPB-0.3toNKPB-40)werecharacterizedbyprecisetorqueandtensioncontroltechnologythroughDC0-24Vvoltageadjustment.TheuseofsphericalpowdermadefromFe,Al,Cralloysprovidedexcellentheatresistance,oxidationresistance,corrosionresistance,andwearresistance,ensuringsemi-permanentlifespanandlong-termmaintenance-freeoperation.
