CLUTCH
FRICTION
INTRODUCTION -clutch
• A clutch is a mechanical device that engages
and disengages the power transmission,
especially from driving shaft to driven shaft.
TYPES
SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH
BELT AND ROPE DRIVES
• Power can be transmitted from one shaft to
another shaft either by flexible or non
flexible type of machine elements.
• Flexible : belts, ropes and chains
• Non flexible: cam, gears, clutches, coupling
• When the distance between the shaft is
large, then belt, ropes or chain are used.
• For smaller distance gear are used
CLASSIFICATION OF DRIVES
TYPES OF BELTS
• Flat belt
• V- belt
• Ropes (or circular belts)
OPEN BELT DRIVE
CROSSED OR TWISTED BELT DRIVE
COMPOUND BELT DRIVE
OPEN BELT DRIVE

BRAKES
BRAKES
• It’s a mechanical device by means of which
motion of a body is retarded for slowing down
(or) to bring it to rest by applying artificial
frictional resistance
Types
1. Block Brakes
2. Band Brakes
3. Block &Band Brakes
4. Internal Expanding Brakes
