**Centrifugal Clutches**: Devices that transmit power via centrifugal and frictional forces of a rotating body. They are utilized to improve the starting performance of driving machines, such as engines, and to protect shaft systems from overloading. Available types include Basic Type (Type C, FA type) and Lock Type, suitable for engine-driven drain pumps, refrigeration compressors, and hydraulic pumps in construction machinery.**CentrifugalClutches**:Devicesthattransmitpowerviacentrifugalandfrictionalforcesofarotatingbody.Theyareutilizedtoimprovethestartingperformanceofdrivingmachines,suchasengines,andtoprotectshaftsystemsfromoverloading.AvailabletypesincludeBasicType(TypeC,FAtype)andLockType,suitableforengine-drivendrainpumps,refrigerationcompressors,andhydraulicpumpsinconstructionmachinery.
**Centrifugal Brakes**: Comprise a fixed drum with a rotating unit assembly that uses centrifugal force to press brake shoes against the drum's inner surface, generating a braking effect. The NS Type (NS5-2S, NS7-2S, NS9-3S, NS9-3W, NS12-3S, NS13-3S) is a mechanical centrifugal brake for controlling descent speed in elevators and water gates, offering adjustable brake torque via counterweights and operating without an external power source.**CentrifugalBrakes**:Compriseafixeddrumwitharotatingunitassemblythatusescentrifugalforcetopressbrakeshoesagainstthedrum'sinnersurface,generatingabrakingeffect.TheNSType(NS5-2S,NS7-2S,NS9-3S,NS9-3W,NS12-3S,NS13-3S)isamechanicalcentrifugalbrakeforcontrollingdescentspeedinelevatorsandwatergates,offeringadjustablebraketorqueviacounterweightsandoperatingwithoutanexternalpowersource.
**Torque Releasers**: Mechanisms that interrupt power transmission when excessive torque occurs. Their function is to protect production plants from sudden overloads and minimize damage. Models include TX30B, TY30A, TV40, SE Type, TZ, and TV type.**TorqueReleasers**:Mechanismsthatinterruptpowertransmissionwhenexcessivetorqueoccurs.Theirfunctionistoprotectproductionplantsfromsuddenoverloadsandminimizedamage.ModelsincludeTX30B,TY30A,TV40,SEType,TZ,andTVtype.
**Load Testers**: Utilize low-speed, high-torque dynamometers. These testers incorporate water-cooled discs and pneumatic or hydraulic disc brakes to apply mechanical loads, with torque conversion achieved by detecting the generated reaction force with load cells.**LoadTesters**:Utilizelow-speed,high-torquedynamometers.Thesetestersincorporatewater-cooleddiscsandpneumaticorhydraulicdiscbrakestoapplymechanicalloads,withtorqueconversionachievedbydetectingthegeneratedreactionforcewithloadcells.
**Hydraulic Pressure Generators**: Equipment that supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure for brake operation across various work sites.**HydraulicPressureGenerators**:Equipmentthatsuppliesthenecessaryhydraulicpressureforbrakeoperationacrossvariousworksites.
