Elastic and Safety Clutch with Metallic Roles and Elastic Rubber Elements

Abstract

The modular design imposes finding the optimal solutions from constructive and functional point of view. The constructive design must be correlated with the technological one. Thus, it is possible to obtain mechanical components with reduce building limit and weight, with high durability and small price. In this context, the present paper presents the conceiving and the design of a new clutch with multiple functions, the elastic and safety clutch. This type of clutch combines the functions of elastic and safety clutches, and it will be denoted as elastic and safety clutch with metallic roles and elastic rubber elements.
