P.O. BOX 850, SCITUATE, MA 02066 Circle 211 on Reader Service Card As for the components of the "TR" Series Clutch, the torsionally resilient air gland tube is made of durable neoprene elastomer, rein- forced with eight-ply polyester cord, formed and cured on Haley MGI designed and constructed precision molds. The tube provides excellent strength, durability and torsional resilience. Marine Gears reports that wheth- er a new rim rolled and finish- machined by MGI, or a rim remanu- factured with new welded replace- ment registers finish-machined to original tolerances, every "TR" Se- ries Marine Clutch rim meets equal- ly exacting engineering and manu- facturing standards. The air gland tube is formed, cured and bonded onto the rim resulting in a rim-tube combination which provides a tough torsionally resilient air gland foundation for excellent friction shoe positioning, before, during and after clutch en- gagement. MGI, founded in 1973, also offers Haley "TB" Series Clutches for use in exceptional high-torque applica- tions. The "TB" Series is very ver- satile because they are interchange- able with all torque bar series ma- rine clutches. The hard rubber- coated torque bars and induction- hardened side plate holes reduce wear. MGI claims that excluded alumi- num shoes provide higher strength and reduced weight. "TB" Series clutches and drums are available in stock for immediate delivery in new or remanufactured sizes 14-inch through 32-inch "TB" wide series and 20-inch through 42-inch "TB" narrow series. Split tubes are also available. Marine Gears, Inc., an American Gear Manufacturers Association- certified manufacturer, offers a wide range of marine clutches, as well as marine gears.
