KMS Wet Disc Clutches

Oil-cooled and pressure oil-connected multi-plate clutches for marine gear boxes are required for safely transmitting large torques with constricted space availability.  Stromag is the undisputed world leader in this technology with the development of the “Stromag No Limit” clutch – KMS 200.000. It has a rated torque of more than two million Nm, 1.2 m in diameter and weighing nearly four tons: the largest and most efficient clutch to drive the entire sector.

Features:

  • All torques feasible
  • Very good torque / weight ratio
  • Low mass moment of inertia
  • High heat load
  • Dissipation of heat by switching oil internal cooling
  • Long life blades
  • Maintenance, possible disc wear is automatically compensated by the piston stroke
  • Remote operation
  • Gradually and smoothly increase the oil pressure and therefore impact-free switching
  • Mechanical emergency switching device in case of failure the oil pressure supply
