III. Locating And Mounting Clutch And 

Couplings To Shaft

A. Location

The clutch should always be located as close as 

possible to the source of an overload condition. 

Figures 7 through 10 indicate both preferred and 

not  preferred locations for mounting a ORC Series, 

Model F Overload Release Clutch.

Note:

 

Clutch mounted sprockets, etc. and 

couplings should be positioned as close 

to a supporting bearing as possible to 

minimize overhung loads. A minimum 

shaft engagement of 1-1/2 times the shaft 

diameter is recommended for clutch and 

coupling flange installation.

1.  Direct Drives

 

a.  Figure 7 shows the preferred location for 

mounting in a direct drive application. The 

clutch is mounted on the low speed side 

of the reducer, and transmits power from 

its housing, through its rotor to the driven 

shaft.

 

b.  Locating the clutch as shown in Figure 8 is 

not preferred. Here the clutch is mounted 

on the high-speed side of the reducer. 

Generally, mounting in this manner requires 

the clutch to be too hypersensitive to 

perform satisfactory.

2.  Indirect Drives

 

a.  Either location of the clutch shown in Figure 

9 is preferred in indirect drive applications.

 

b.  The mounting location in Figure 10 is not 

preferred for the same reasons as those for 

Figure 8. Always consult the factory when a 

mounting of this type is necessary.

B.  Mounting Basic Clutch

1.  Inspect shaft and key for any nicks or burrs and 

remove any that may be present.

2.  If the clutch is a Model FJ or FG, loosen the 

clamp collar on the rotor of the clutch. If the 

clutch is a Model FR, remove the screw from the 

hole stamped 22 outside of the housing. Make 

sure that the clutch is engaged where the rotor 

keyway is in line with the hole stamped 22.

3.  Position shaft key and slide clutch onto shaft.
