How does a clutch work? Let us understand through this video




Description

A clutch is a mechanical device that provides transmission of power from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member) when engaged, but can also be disengaged.

Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion must be controlled either in amount or over time. For example, in a car, clutch is used to change gears and control speed.
