A clutch is a mechanical device that engages and disengages the power transmission. It also allows the controlled and smooth transfer of rotational power from a driving component (motor) to a driven device (machine). It is used in applications requiring control over the driven device's start-up, speed, and operation — including pumps, conveyor systems, machine tools, and other equipment. Choosing the right clutch is crucial to ensure your system or machinery's optimal performance, reliability, and [...]

A clutch and a brake may seem interchangeable at first glance, but they perform two distinct functions. A clutch is a transmission and control device that transfers energy from the driver to the driven shaft. On the other hand, a brake is a mechanism that stops, regulates, or holds a moving load at rest by converting kinetic energy into heat. Clutches and brakes employ diverse technologies, including pneumatic, electromagnetic, mechanical, and hydraulic. However, there are [...]
