Let Boston Gear help you get out of a jam!
Whether you’re manufacturing cartoning machinery, case erecting, case packing, case sealing or tray forming/packing machines, the requirements are the same: faster, more reliable machines. At the same time, your customers require greater line efficiency as well as easy fault detection and recovery.
As the speed your machinery increases, so does the potential for costly jams. That's why many of today's Packaging OEMs are using safety devices such as overload clutches and safety switches to improve the reliability of their machines. Overload Clutches protect machines from damage due to jammed production lines and loading problems. While you are focusing on speed performance, let Altra assist you with products such as overload clutches, sensors, and safety switches, that will enable greater line efficiency as well as fault detection and recovery.
Ease your reliability worries and buy your speed reducer from Boston Gear. Boston Gear offers the industry's greatest variety of gear drive sizes fabricated with the highest quality materials, providing strength and durability.
Cartoning and case packing machines often require a torque limiting device to provide reliable system timing. By providing a wider torque range and a higher RPM capacity than the competition, Centrigard overload clutches provide more application flexibility than competitive products.






This clutch has the widest torque range in its class: 100 to 1,000 in. lbs., and will limit transmitted torque no matter if the overload jam is once a year or many times per day. The cost-effective design with fewer components combined with a corrosion resistant hard-anodized housing provide years of dependable service. Other features include a fully automatic reset and
bi-directional single position clutch.
