PDC-1300 by Sanyo Denki

The Sanyo Denki PDC-1300 pneumatic disc clutch is a high-performance unit in the SANDIC Digital Controllers series engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. Designed and manufactured by Sanyo Denki, this Type Pneumatic Disc Clutch delivers up to Maximum Torque Capacity: 1300 Nm with an operational Maximum Pressure: 6 bar (87 psi) for consistent power transmission under heavy-duty conditions. The clutch features a versatile Bore Size Range of 25 mm to 60 mm, accommodating diverse shaft diameters, and a Disc Diameter of 280 mm to maximize torque transfer surface area and reduce wear. Its Mounting Type: Shaft-mounted configuration ensures straightforward integration into existing drive systems without extensive retrofitting. Weighing 18 kg, the PDC-1300 balances robust construction with manageable mass, facilitating installation and maintenance. Manufactured with a Hub Material: Steel and non-asbestos Friction Material, it meets stringent safety and environmental standards.

Performance is optimized via an Actuation Method: Pneumatic mechanism that requires just Air Consumption Per Engagement: 1.2 liters to complete each cycle, ensuring economical use of compressed air and minimal downtime. Precision engagement is maintained with an Axial Movement: 2.5 mm tolerance, allowing for finely controlled actuation in high-speed sequencing applications. The integrated digital controller supports Control Axes: Single-axis control and communicates through an Interface Type: RS-232C serial communication link, providing seamless connectivity with PLCs and SCADA systems. Powered by a Power Supply: 24 VDC ±10% input, the clutch's electronics deliver stable, responsive control signals and enable remote diagnostics. The combination of pneumatic actuation and digital interface facilitates rapid response times and repeatable performance even under continuous cycle demands.

Built for reliability, the PDC-1300's robust steel hub and high-grade friction material withstand repetitive engagement over extended operational lifecycles, minimizing maintenance intervals. The shaft-mounted design allows for compact installation within gearbox assemblies, motor mounts, and conveyor drive units, streamlining system architecture. Its RS-232C interface supports remote monitoring of clutch status and fault conditions, enabling predictive maintenance strategies and reducing unplanned downtime. Ideal for industrial automation, the PDC-1300 is suited to packaging machinery, assembly lines, material handling systems, and any application requiring precise torque control and rapid actuation in heavy-duty environments.
