About Hydraulic Brake and Clutch Assemblies

Hydraulic brake and clutch assemblies are equipment drive components that consist of hydraulic brakes for slowing or stopping shafts and hydraulic clutches for connecting or disconnecting shafts. Hydraulic brake and clutch assemblies transmit force from one point to another point using an incompressible fluid such as oil. Engaging the clutch transfers power from an engine to devices such as a transmission and drive wheels. Disengaging the clutch stops the power transfer, but allows the engine to continue turning. Braking slows or stops the movement of the coupled shafts. Because they are self-regulating, hydraulic brake and clutch assemblies require less maintenance than many mechanical systems. They are typically used in automobiles.
