Overview

Centric Clutch literally revolutionized torque limiting technology when it developed VariTorque, the first single-position pneumatic-overload clutch. The VariTorque was designed to meet the specific needs of paper converting machinery where large starting inertias, high production speeds, and the possibility of equipment failure is great. The addition of the H2000 pneumatic clutch rounds out the Centric line, making it one of the most complete in industry today.
