Abstract
An inching and brake/clutch unit for connecting a remote inching motor to the drive shaft of a motor for welding presses and the like. The unit includes an adaptor for the inching motor drive shaft, a sleeve rotatably connected to the inching drive shaft adaptor carrying a stack of brake discs, and a sleeve disposed on the motor drive shaft carrying a stack of brake plates interleaved with the brake discs. The brake discs and plates are frictionally engaged by the biased axial movement of the motor shaft when the motor is disengaged and the inching drive shaft adaptor is thereby engaged to drive the motor drive shaft for inching operation.
