Clutches are mechanical components used to transmit power between two rotating elements and are designed to compensate for the different coupling point, absorb absorb vibration and protect equipment from shock or overload.

Functions and benefits of clutches

• Power transmission: the main function of a clutch is to transmit power from one shaft to the other, providing a reliable mechanical connection between two rotating parts.
• Compensating for misalignment: in practice, axes are not always perfectly aligned. Couplings are indispensable for such axial, radial or angular misalignments axial and radial errors, preventing premature wear and failure.
• Vibration absorption: clutches help absorb vibrations and shocks during operation, protecting machinery and equipment.
• Equipment protection: clutches protect equipment by limiting transmitted torque and disconnecting components in the event of overload.
• Flexibility: some couplings allow easy movement of the connected shafts, which is essential in applications where variable movements or forces occur.
