Torque Capacity:
• Rated to transfer on the order of 25,000 lb‑ft of torque (measured under standard hydraulic conditions, for example at 75 psi).
(This value reflects the heavy‐duty requirements of drawworks systems and may be calibrated based on the rig’s design.)
Operating Speed:
• Designed for low‐speed operation, typically rated for rotational speeds up to about 600 rpm.
(Drawworks systems generally run at low speeds to ensure smooth cable handling.)
Materials & Construction:
• Manufactured from high‑strength, heat‑treated alloy steel with a machined friction surface.
• Often features a friction composite overlay or surface treatment designed to provide a consistent coefficient of friction over many engagement cycles.
Dimensional Characteristics:
• Outer Diameter: Typically in the range of 24–30 inches (depending on the overall clutch design).
• Thickness: Generally around 2–3 inches.
• Mounting & Hub Dimensions: Precisely machined to interface with the drive hub and other clutch components (exact bore and bolt circle dimensions will be determined by the rig’s design).
Weight:
• Usually falls within the range of approximately 100–150 lbs, depending on design and material thickness.
