With the pneumatically engageable Planox® clutch type PP, the compressed air is passed axially through the shaft into the ring cylinder and thus determines the torque. The wear that occurs is automatically compensated for via the piston travel. In combination with flexible couplings, the PP type is particularly suitable as a safety coupling, e.g. for extruders in the plastics industry, which are tested, run-in and adjusted on our test benches specially manufactured for this application.
