X Error: Couplings are used to connect two shafts or a shaft and a rotating component, enabling them to rotate together while transmitting torque and motion; they can only be separated by removing them after the machine has stopped rotating. Some couplings can also be used as safety devices to protect the connected mechanical parts from damage due to overload. A clutch is a device that enables connection or disconnection when transmitting power or motion along the same axis. Similar to a coupling, a clutch can be used to connect two shafts; the difference is that it allows the two shafts to be connected or disconnected at any time during machine operation, as required by the working conditions.
