Tracing the History of Clutch MechanismsThe journey of clutch mechanisms can be traced back to the dawn of mechanical engineering when the need to connect and disconnect power transmission was apparent. Initially conceived for horse-drawn carriages, these mechanisms evolved significantly as steam and then gasoline engines emerged. Early industrial applications utilized simple leather belts to transfer motion from one component to another. As machinery advanced, the demand for more reliable and efficient solutions ushered in the era of metallic clutches, which provided greater durability and performance under load.
