  2. 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.

  3. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

    The clutch rotor passes through the bound particles, causing drag between the input and the output during rotation. Depending upon the output torque requirement, the output and input may lock at 100% transfer. When current is removed from the clutch, the input is almost free to turn with the shaft.

  5. Clutch control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_control

    Clutch control is the controlling of the speed of a manual transmission vehicle by partially engaging the clutch plate, using the clutch pedal instead of (or in conjunction with) the accelerator pedal. The purpose of a clutch is in part to allow such control; in particular, a clutch provides transfer of torque between shafts spinning at ...

  6. Clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch

    Another example of clutch usage is in electric drills. [2] The clutch's input shaft is driven by a motor and the output shaft is connected to the drill bit (via several intermediate components). The clutch allows the drill bit to either spin at the same speed as the motor (clutch engaged), spin at a lower speed than the motor (clutch slipping ...

  7. Direct-shift gearbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox

    A direct-shift gearbox (DSG, German: Direktschaltgetriebe [1]) [2] [3] is an electronically controlled, dual-clutch, [2] multiple-shaft, automatic gearbox, in either a transaxle or traditional transmission layout (depending on engine/drive configuration), with automated clutch operation, and with fully-automatic [2] or semi-manual gear selection.

  8. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

  9. Centrifugal clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch

    Centrifugal clutches were used in railway locomotives before 1858, [1] and referred to (in relation to electric motors) in a patent of 1899. [2] A patent was issued in the United States for an automotive centrifugal clutch (on an electric vehicle) in 1898. [3] There is a design for a toy 'automatic clutch' in Meccano Magazine of June 1934. [4]
