How do clutches work on powerful machinery? 929 viewsNovember 30, -0001 0 Question81.03K May 24, 2019 1 Comment Like hypercars and tractors/trucks/bulldozers etc. How is it possible that they can convert that much power using plates alone?

Instead of just one being sandwiched like in a normal passenger car there can up to a dozen. The more surface area you have the more holding power you get with the same clamping force. 0 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest Register or Login
