Mechanical Clutches
Mechanical clutches are critical components in power transmission systems, designed to engage and disengage the connection between driving and driven shafts for controlled torque and motion transfer. These clutches operate through mechanical means, such as friction, positive engagement, or overrunning mechanisms, and are widely used in various industrial applications. The selection of the appropriate mechanical clutch depends on factors such as torque capacity, operating speed, response time, and environmental conditions.
