Is this the correct way to determine the clutch rating?

Shaft Speed1352 RPM
Power Input 4000 watts = 4000/746 = 5.36 HP

HP = Torque * RPM / 5252

Torque = 5.36 / 1352 * 5252 = 20.82 ft-lb
20.82 ft-lb = 249.87 in-lb

So this clutch should be close enough to work?

looks right.

how do these type clutches not slip on the shaft? Do they bite in to the shaft somehow?
