Overload Clutches
Overload clutches are mechanical devices that protect power transmission systems and machinery from excessive torque or sudden load changes by disengaging the drive system when the torque exceeds a predetermined threshold. Commonly used in industrial applications, these clutches help maintain equipment safety and reliability by preventing damage due to overloading or jamming. An appropriate overload clutch selection depends on factors such as the operating environment, torque requirements, and system dynamics.
