Clutch Shaft/Shaft

Clutch Shaft/Shaft

A clutch (or a friction clutch) is a device which transmits motion between the two kinematic systems rotating at different angular speeds.

We produce/Supply the following types of clutch:

  • Multiple disc (multidisc), mainly for oil bath and dry applications at low speed.
  • Single-disc, only for dry applications.


They can be controlled in the following ways:

  • Hydraulic
  • Pneumatic
  • Electromagnetic


They can operate in the following ways:

  • POSITIVE:
    the control connects the transmission; the clutch engages when oil, air or voltage is supplied.
  • NEGATIVE (with springs pressure):
    the control disconnects the transmission; the clutch disengages when oil, air or voltage is supplied.

The Different types of clutches available Include:

  • Hydraulically controlled clutches
  • Pneumatically controlled clutches
  • Electromagnetic clutches
