DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE OPERATING STATE OF A CLUTCH COUPLING

摘要

A device for sensing the engagement position of a mechanical or electromagnetic clutch engaged through axial movement of a section of the clutch includes an axially movable clutch section. A magnetic circuit is activated by the movable section and a sensor mounted relative to the clutch section senses magnetic flux from the magnetic circuit, thereby indicating the engagement position. There is a relay switching system with parallel excited circuits for each of a multitude of clutches operable separately.
