I am putting together a parts list and I have a 15 HP generac motor . I know I will have to have the armature shaft machined to 1 inch with a key way.
So my question can you recommend a clutch for me ?
What size is you'r armature shaft now?
Are you wanting an electric clutch? Small Engine Warehouse http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/searchresults.html?Screen=Facet&search=Electric%20clutch%20
has a number of them for mower, etc. applications.Their pricing isn't bad, either.
Since their listing is for specific machines, you would have a record of what replacement you would need in the future if you needed one.
A phone call might clear up any questions.
Yotebait, an electric clutch that will handle that motor and load will not be cheap. A rocking motor base or idler pulley to tighten belts will do the same thing at almost no cost. The belts become your clutch and are relatively cheap and easy to replace. Frank C.
