Spur Gear-Slip Clutch

A Spur Gear-Slip Clutch is a type of mechanical power transmission equipment that falls under the supply class of Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain in the supply group of Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.

A spur gear is a type of gear with straight teeth that are parallel to the gear's axis. It is one of the most common types of gears used in mechanical systems. Spur gears are used to transmit power and motion between parallel shafts.

A slip clutch, also known as a torque limiter or safety clutch, is a device that allows controlled slippage between two rotating components. It is designed to protect the drivetrain from excessive torque or overload conditions. When the torque exceeds a certain threshold, the slip clutch slips, preventing damage to the system.

In the case of a Spur Gear-Slip Clutch, the slip clutch is integrated into the gear mechanism. This allows for controlled slippage between the gears, providing protection against overload conditions. It is commonly used in applications where sudden torque spikes or overloads can occur, such as in machinery or equipment that may experience jamming or sudden changes in load.

Overall, a Spur Gear-Slip Clutch is a specialized type of gear mechanism that combines the power transmission capabilities of spur gears with the protective features of a slip clutch. It is a valuable component in mechanical power transmission systems, ensuring smooth and safe operation even under challenging conditions.
