Ogura Creates Online Clutch and Brake Animation Videos

Ogura has been producing clutches and brakes since 1938.

Ogura has created new animations showing how electromagnetic clutches and brakes work.  The animations show how electric current creates magnetic flux in the coil to create a pull in force to engage a timing belt pulley for the clutch and stop a rotating shaft for the brake.  These animation videos can be found at the website below.
