Dismounting Electromagnetic Clutch & Installing Alternator Support Bracket for Cummins Engine

2

Electromagnetic ClutchThe electromagnetic clutch assembly is basically made up of two sub-assemblies: the coil, which is mounted directly on the compressor body, and the clutch, which is mounted to the bearing hub.

The most common cause of clutch failure is excessive heat.

Excessive heat can be generated by frequent cycling of the clutch due to abnormal system pressures tripping the high and low pressure switches; or by damaged control elements (by poor contact in electric wiring, etc.)

Excessive heat can also be generated by leaving the coil energized while the engine is not running or no compressor drive belts are installed. Under normal operation, the coil is cooled by the pulley rotation.
