Depending on their type and application, engineering clutches play a key role in industrial production, mechanical transmission, automated control, and heavy equipment. The following is a categorized description of specific application scenarios and technical features:

1. Pneumatic Clutches: High-Frequency Start-Stop and Heavy-Load Applications

Power Transmission for Engineering Vehicles

Multi-plate friction clutches: Placed behind the engine (e.g., on sanitation vehicles), they directly drive high-speed components like cleaning equipment and water pumps, or connect to the axle system via a differential, ensuring smooth power transmission.

Gear clutches: Used in extrication systems (when a vehicle is stuck in mud) and winch systems, they generate high torque through low-speed engagement to assist in vehicle extrication or lifting heavy objects.

Technical Advantages: Powered by compressed air, they offer fast response and are suitable for high-frequency starts and stops; their compact structure allows them to withstand heavy loads.

Smooth Startup of Industrial Equipment

In applications with high-inertia loads such as ball mills and metallurgical equipment, pneumatic clutches enable impact-free engagement, extending motor life.

Application Industries: Packaging machines, printing presses, textile machines, ball mills, mining machinery, etc. 2. Electromagnetic Clutches: Fast Response and Precision Control
Automated Equipment Positioning and Process Switching
Used for CNC machine tool spindle control and material transfer in automated production lines, this system rapidly engages and disengages mechanical components through the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Typical Applications: Precisely controlling each step of metal rolling mill operations ensures processing accuracy.
High-Speed ​​Operations with Heavy Loads
In metallurgy, mining, and power generation, electromagnetic clutches control the start and brakes of large equipment to ensure stable power transmission.
Handling Machinery Applications: Cranes use electromagnetic clutches to precisely control lifting and lowering speeds, preventing heavy loads from swaying.
Textile and Packaging Industries: Cotton, linen, and wool primary processing equipment utilizes electromagnetic clutches to control spinning and weaving feed speeds, improving textile quality.
In packaging equipment, electromagnetic clutches control winding tension to ensure consistent product appearance.
