Power Transmission - Clutches & Brakes

Clutches and brakes are essential components in power transmission systems, serving to control and regulate the transfer of mechanical power. They play a vital role in various industries, from automotive and manufacturing to construction and material handling. By enabling efficient and controlled power engagement and disengagement, clutches and brakes enhance operational efficiency, safety, and performance.

Why Use Clutches & Brakes?

Clutches and brakes allow for precise control over the transmission of power, enabling smooth acceleration, deceleration, and stopping. By preventing excessive torque from reaching components, clutches and brakes protect against damage and premature wear. Clutches and brakes are crucial for safety, enabling operators to stop machinery quickly in emergencies.

Unique Features Include

• The maximum torque a clutch or brake can transmit.
• The speed at which the clutch or brake can engage or disengage.
• The mechanism used to activate the clutch or brake (e.g., mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic).
• The materials used in the clutch or brake plates affect performance and durability.
