There are four different types of freewheeling clutch, also known as overrunning clutches. They are all used to freewheel or overrun in one direction while maintaining the driving rotational force in a different direction. One of the main characteristics of all freewheeling clutch occurs when the driven shaft rotates faster than the driving shaft. When …
Clutches are everywhere in all kinds of machinery, and often in places you wouldn’t even expect. Everyone knows a manual transmission car works with a clutch, but they actually have more than one. Perhaps more surprisingly, cars with automatic transmission also have clutches. There are clutches in smaller machines like cordless drills and even chain …

Torque limiters or overload clutches are special industrial machinery components that are specifically designed to protect either the equipment itself or the equipment’s load from excessive torque. Usually they will shut down a machine when excessive torque is detected and dissipate the unnecessary rotational energy so as not to cause damage to the load or …
Clutch maintenance is an oft overlooked part of keeping industrial vehicles in good running order. One of the main ways to keep a clutch in good condition is to operate the vehicle with its constant maintenance in mind. Operating your clutch with care is the best way to ensure that a vehicle with a manual …
Clutches are an integral part of many different types of vehicle and industrial machine. Their applications typically involve any devices that have two rotating shafts where one of the shafts must be powered by a motor or pulley while the other shaft drives another element of the device. Drills are a nice simple example, as …

Simply put, a coupling is a mechanical device which is primarily used to connect two different shafts together at each of their ends with the purpose of transmitting power from one shaft to the other. A clutch differs in that it directly engages or disengages the power that is transmitted from one shaft, the driving …
Almost every industry in the world relies industrial components to operate and none so more than agriculture and the equipment used in agriculture. When designing modern agricultural machinery, several key factors need to be considered, including meeting market-specific regulations for noise and exhaust emissions, improving performance and reducing cost of ownership. In agricultural machinery, hydraulic …
