The Friction clutch is indispensable in certain agricultural implement applications. The friction clutch is the only torque limiter that has the ability to continuously transmit power (at a reduced level) while overloaded. This is valuable during startup of high inertia machines, as well as for leveling out torsional fluctuations due to high cyclic loads. The standard friction clutch with coil springs can be set in the field to the desired overload protection and must be readjusted after slipping.
