  2. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

    The clutch slips until the input and output RPMs are matched. This happens relatively quickly typically (0.2 - 2 sec). When the current is removed from the clutch, the armature is free to turn with the shaft. Springs hold the friction disks away from each other, so there is no contact when the clutch is not engaged, creating a minimal amount of ...

  3. Clamper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamper_(electronics)

    The negative swing of the output will not dip below about −0.6 V, assuming a silicon PN diode. [ 1 ] A clamper (or clamping circuit or clamp ) is an electronic circuit that fixes either the positive or the negative peak excursions of a signal to a defined voltage by adding a variable positive or negative DC voltage to it. [ 2 ]

  4. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutches...

    Based upon the size of the clutch or brake, the speed and the inertia, wear rates will differ. For example, a machine that was running at 500 rpm with a clutch and is now sped up to 1000 rpm would have its wear rate significantly increased because the amount of energy required to start the same amount of inertia is a lot higher at the higher speed.

  5. Electronic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. It is a type of electrical circuit.

  6. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

    Diagram of a simple circuit with an inductance L and a flyback diode D.The resistor R represents the resistance of the inductor's windings. A flyback diode is any diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.

  7. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.

  8. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    Tunnel diodes and Gunn diodes are examples of components that have negative resistance. Hysteresis vs single-valued: Devices which have hysteresis; that is, in which the current–voltage relation depends not only on the present applied input but also on the past history of inputs, have I–V curves consisting of families of closed loops. Each ...

  9. Constant-current diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-current_diode

    It is known as a current-limiting diode (CLD) or current-regulating diode (CRD). Internal structure. It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.
