Re: Clutches
JMR,
The electric clutches have been deemed electric solenoids in the past and as such are not allowed on the robot. Certain eddy current devices have been used in the past as there is no parts that are pulled together as in the operation of the solenoids. Any device of this type requires a closer inspection by the lead inspector and some consultation. My suggestion is to ask the Q&A stating the model you are considering.
<R53> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A. Electric motors and/or servos different from, or in addition to, those in the KOP, with the exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R52>.
B. Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same as pneumatic solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not).
