Nonvehicular Positive Clutch

Nonvehicular positive clutches are a type of mechanical power transmission equipment that falls under the supply class of torque converters and speed changers. These clutches are designed to transmit torque between two rotating shafts in a nonvehicular application, meaning they are not used in vehicles such as cars or trucks.

Positive clutches are characterized by their ability to engage and disengage the power transmission with a positive mechanical connection. This means that when the clutch is engaged, the power is transferred from one shaft to another without any slippage or loss of torque. When the clutch is disengaged, the power transmission is interrupted, allowing the shafts to rotate independently.

Nonvehicular positive clutches are commonly used in various industrial applications where precise and reliable power transmission is required. They can be found in machinery such as industrial mixers, conveyor systems, printing presses, and other equipment that requires controlled power transmission.

These clutches are typically designed with a set of friction plates or discs that are pressed together to engage the power transmission. The engagement and disengagement of the clutch can be controlled manually or automatically, depending on the specific application.

Overall, nonvehicular positive clutches play a crucial role in mechanical power transmission by providing a reliable and efficient means of transferring torque between rotating shafts in nonvehicular applications.
