Product Overview
Typical Mobile Clutch - Water Pump Applications:
In typical water pump applications, the clutch is mounted on the
input shaft of the water pump. Since the clutch has an integral pulley, a belt is used as the input to the clutch. This belt
is normally driven directly from an electric motor or a gas/diesel engine. When there is no power to the clutch, the water
pump does not not engage; however when power is activated, the clutch drives the water pump to initiate water flow. In
this application, the GP clutch is mounted directly to a General Pump by using an adapter plate.
Used in Carpet Cleaning, Texture Spray Machines, High Pressure Pump applications.
Reasons for using an Electromagnetic Clutch:
• Extended pump life
• Less Cost
• Simple installation
• Operator convenience
• Cold weather starting
General Pump Mobile Clutch Design Advantages
• Solid forged rotor.A one-piece solid forged rotor means no chance of internal parts separation. They have an
even wall thickness around the coil which gives optimum flux distribution, maximizing torque.
• High temperature, longer-life grease. Our special long-life grease has shown a significant inprovement in life
over other standard high temp greases
• High-temperature epoxy coil. To help prevent failure from vibration and outside contaminants, all coils are
sealed in the coil shell with a high-temperature epoxy coating.
• Forged machined pulley.All GP models use a heavy-duty machined pulley. A stronger pulley resists damage
due to abusive environments.
