Metallic Clutches vs Fibrous Clutches
|
Metallic clutches handle a heavier load, and minimize the the wear and tear caused by friction, providing years of usage without the need of replacement.
Fibrous clutches are consumable parts prone to wear and tear over time, similar to brake pads on cars, therefore, based on amount of load, speed and usage will determine when to replace them.
