Rely on Mönninghoff know-how for your drive technology:

together we will develop the ideal clutch for your application


There is an enormous number of variants in the field of clutches. Different operating principles such as positive or frictional locking, special material alloys or different designs of individual components create endless possibilities for adapting the clutch to the application. Torques between 20 and 36,000 Nm are easily possible.


As an experienced and competent partner in the field of drive technology Mönninghoff offers you the right solution for every application.


Electromagnetic tooth clutches: Thanks to our particularly high level of competence in the field of gearing, Mönninghoff tooth clutches can master any task within the drive train. The latest development in this area is an energy-efficient, bistable clutch. With a completely new operating principle, it can save up to 99% of the energy consumption - depending on the application - and at the same time maintains its switching state safely even during power failures.

Multiple-disc clutches: A further product group within the range of clutches is the multi-plate clutch, which has the highest power density among Mönninghoff  clutches. It has been specially developed for very high torques in small installation  spaces. Even though the product has been manufactured by Mönninghoff since the 1960s, new high-tech applications can still be found today that can only be solved  with this proven operating principle.

Pneumatic tooth clutches: However, pneumatically operated systems can also be  advantageous for some applications, because a pneumatically released tooth clutch does not require any additional energy supply. Systems that already work  pneumatically often prefer this operating principle.

Pole face friction clutches: Our pole-friction clutches are suitable for torque  transmission with initial differential speed between the drive elements. They can  also withstand harsher environments and are therefore particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications.


The engineers at Mönninghoff design the appropriate clutch for each application on a customer-specific basis and combine other drive elements such as non-switchable shaft couplings or gears as well as sensors or housings as required. Clutch-brake combinations are also a proven solution for many complex drive tasks.


Especially developed for the increasing safety requirements of modern machines and plants, we guarantee a long service life and high functional reliability for all our systems.
