Ogura Industrial was featured in an industry trade magazine showing how a small horsepower diesel engine and a number of Ogura clutches can run the various generators and compressors required on a tractor trailer. The advantage with running the smaller horsepower engines is that the drives do not have to run their large diesel engines all night long just to provide heat and electricity. A full version of the article as it appeared in the Ogura newsletter is attached to the link.
Ogura Industrial provides TimberKing with a clutch/brake that enables a rotating band saw to be started and stopped remotely. Now an operator can remain behind the mill and control all functions. Upon cutting power to the clutch/brake, the brake slows to meet pre-set stop time requirements. Remote control over blade engagement and disengagement also minimizes the stress on the blade band.
This article from Design News shows how effective an Ogura magnetic particle brake can be used in an arcade game. The article shows how a magnetic particle brake can simulate line pull in the arcade fishing game called "Angler King" from Namco.
