Hooks joint/ universal joint
• Advantages
• Frequent engagement and disengagement is
possible.
• They are easy to operate.
• Disadvantages
• They don't provide positive engagement
• Due to slip, the heat is generated at contacting
surfaces during the engagement.
Applications
• Commonly used in automobiles

“THE USE OF COOLING OIL”
Wet clutches
If the cooling oil is used for heat dissipation,
then the clutch is called ‘wet clutch’
Dry clutches
If the cooling oil is not used for heat
dissipation, then the clutch is called ‘dry
clutch’
Cone clutch
• Cone clutch.mp4
Cone Clutch
Cone clutches
The cone clutch consist of a cup keyed to the
driving shaft and a cone with friction lining free to
slide axially on a splined driven shaft.
Application
They are used in racing boats, racing cars and in
military vehicles.
Centrifugal Clutch
Centrifugal clutch
• The centrifugal clutch works on the principle of
centrifugal force.
• The centrifugal force increases with speed.
• As the angular speed of the input shaft increases,
the centrifugal force acting on the sliding shoes
increases, causing the shoes to move in a radially
outward direction.
• The shoes continue to move increasing speed until
they contact inner surface of drum.
• Power is transmitted due to frictional force between
the shoe lining and the inner surface of the drum.
Electromagnetic clutch
Fluid clutch
Brakes
•Function: 1) to slow down or completely stop
the motion of a moving system.
2) to hold the parts of the system
in position at rest.
Types of Brakes
•1) Mechanical brakes: these brakes are
operated by means of levers, springs and
pedals.
