- Balers
- Combines and combine headers
- Fertilizer spreaders
- Grain augers
- Hay rake or tedders
- Mower conditioners
Design
- Available in driveline or through-shaft configuration
- Set torque from 100 to 1500 Nm

Durability
- Repeatable overload setting
- Improved cam material increases ductility and reduces brittleness, adding durability in high frequency disconnect applications
- Tightly controlled surface finish and springs reduce torque drop and break-in period, means more consistent torque disconnects and lower torque drop over the clutch’s lifetime
- Preset design controls spring height and reduces break-in torque loss
- Added shot peening strengthens spring and relieves stress caused by coiling process
