Get virtually infinite speed control with variable speed clutches from Philadelphia Gear®.
Our Synchrotorque® line of hydroviscous clutches transmits torque in proportion to a variable clamping force. Precise clamping pressure allows for output speeds equaling 100% of input speeds – maximizing energy efficiency for your operation.

- Works for 100 to 20,000 HP applications
- Available in a range of sizes for various mounting configurations
- Eliminates fixed-slip losses
- Transmits torque in either direction
- Can remain running while disconnected from load
- Maximizes torque transfer in compact spaces
- Protects drivetrain from excessive loads with automatic torque limiting
- Designed to withstand extreme environments
THE MARK 8 SYNCHROTORQUE CONTROL SYSTEM: REDEFINING PRECISION
Ensure pinpoint-accurate control of your Synchrotorque clutches with the Mark 8. Our digital controller continuously compares input command signals to output shaft parameters, adjusting clutch clamping pressure electro-hydraulically to maintain your desired speed, torque, flow, or pressure.
First released in 1969, the Mark Series builds upon a half-century of expertise to take torque control to the next level. Discover how the Mark 8 improves upon its predecessor as the most technologically advanced controller yet.
