Design World: Trends in Clutches and Brakes

In the March issue of Design World Magazine and Design World online, Ogura contributed to an article regarding the trends in electromagnetic clutches and brakes. Ogura commented about the growth in holding brake applications due to the increased use of servo motors and robotics in manufacturing. Ogura also commented about the need for smaller but higher performing products and showed the new thin line of holding brakes as well as the micro clutches that are used in office automation for paper handling applications. The article also discussed how more product qualification is being driven to suppliers like Ogura. Reduced engineering staff at many OEMs means that suppliers are becoming more integrated with the OEMs design team to make sure the right product is chosen from the start.
