A fan clutch is a thermostatic engine cooling fan that can freewheel at low temperatures when cooling is not needed, allowing the engine to warm up faster, relieving unnecessary load on the engine. As temperatures increase, the clutch engages so that the fan is driven by engine power and moves air to cool the engine.

A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.
The Hydra-Matic 6T40 and similar 6T30, 6T45, and 6T50 are transversely-mounted six speed automatic transmissions produced by General Motors.The 6T40, referred to in GM inner circles as the GF6, made its debut in the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, available with the 2.4 L LE5 Ecotec engine making 164 horsepower (122 kW), and has since also been made available on the Chevrolet Cruze, Daewoo Tosca and ...
Single-face clutches make up approximately 90% of all electromagnetic clutch sales [citation needed]. Electromagnetic clutches are most suitable for remote operation since no mechanical linkages are required to control their engagement, providing fast, smooth operation. However, because the activation energy dissipates as heat in the ...
Nearly $200 is still a pretty penny for a coffee machine, but the Coffee Chronicler says that investment pays off pretty quickly, as the machine is easy to repair, sustainable, and long-lasting ...
Viscous couplings are used as the center differential in some four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles.. The first mass-produced viscous couplings for a permanent 4WD off-road-capable vehicle were in the AMC Eagle, which was produced from 1980 to 1988 model years. [2]
