Eddy current clutch/drive coupling
(OP)
Is there a preferred method for troubleshooting these drives, like mega-ohm readings on motor windings?

RE: Eddy current clutch/drive coupling
AVGTech, what problem arises that provokes you to troubleshoot the drives? Please be specific..
I think your referring to diagnostic testing for magnetic coupling? simply, take the winding resistance and refer it to the recommended resistance on the manual.
If you had a problem with the drive itself, an operational check will leads you to diagnose or troubleshoots the drive.
Simple ways to determine any abnormalities are; DC output to the coupling, unresponsive of speed when rheostat is activated, open winding at the coupling, etc.
