14.9 ELECTRIC CLUTCH

1. Belts, Matched Set
2. Bolt w/Washer
3. Clutch
4. Sheave
5. Engine
6. Power Take Off
7. Key
The electric clutch (Figure 51) turns the attachment used
on the unit on and off with a switch. The clutch is also
designed so that a brake is applied to the output shaft
when the clutch is disengaged (off).
The field coil is mounted to a bearing support and does
not rotate. The rotor is attached to the power output shaft
and rotates around the field assembly. The armature is
attached to the output pulley. The armature assembly is
held close to the rotor by the brake assembly. The clutch
is engaged by applying current to the coil connection. As
a result, current flows through the coil. This magnetizes
the coil and pulls the armature onto the rotor with
sufficient force to hold the two pieces together, effectively
connecting the output and the input shafts. Pulling the
armature against the rotor pulls it away from the brake,
releasing the brake.
