Slip Device Application Calculator

Inputs

Speed:
RPM
Speed change of driven system when clutch is engaged. 
Inertia:
Kg-m^2
Total rotational inertia of your driven system. 
Slip Device Torque:
N-m
Select a torque from the available options below:
  SA: 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 0.95 N-m
SB: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7 N-m
System Friction Torque:
N-m
Total drag torque of your driven system.
Cycles/Second:
 

Outputs

Slip Time:
msec
 
Max Cycles, SA:
mil. cycles
If neither of these numbers is greater than the expected number of cycles for your application, consider alternate means.
SB:
mil. cycles
Single Cycle Energy:
joules
If this energy exceed 850 Joules for the SA configuration or 300 Joules for the SB configuration, consider alternate means.
Avg Wattage:
watts
If the average wattage exceeds 2 watts for the SA configuration or 1.25 watts for the SB configuration, consider other means.
Continuous Duty Wattage:
watts
If the continuous wattage exceeds 2 watts for the SA configuration or 1.25 watts for the SB configuration slip device will overheat if slipped continuously.
