A lockable centrifugal clutch disconnects an unpowered axle drive to cut magnetic and mechanical losses in electric all-wheel-drive vehicles.
A nested axial latching mechanism enables overload protection and freewheeling in a compact clutch while supporting long service life.
A preloaded half-clutch buffer spring softens quick-shift engagement shock while preserving clutch connection capacity in straddled vehicles.
A clutch-controlled torque hinge switches frictional engagement, keeping doors stable while allowing low-force manual opening when the motor fails.
Inclined roller surfaces and a selector ease lock-to-free switching under residual torque while reducing friction, noise, and wear.
A step-up step-down clutch housing fits a centrifugal clutch between a mud motor and PTO, enabling automatic low-speed disengagement.
Radial locking bodies create a compact positive-fit shaft lock that holds high torque with low play and no continuous energy input.
Locking bodies and a coaxial locking ring create a compact shaft lock that holds high torque with low clearance and no holding energy.
