Introduction A brief overview of cutting fluids and their importance in machining processes Cutting fluids play a crucial role in machining processes. They are specially designed liquids or gases that are used to lubricate and cool the cutting tool and workpiece during machining operations. These fluids are essential in extending tool life, improving workpiece quality, and increasing machining efficiency. Without cutting fluids, machining operations would be less effective and prone to various issues such as tool wear, workpiece damage, and poor surface finish. Definition and basic functions of cutting fluids Cutting fluids, also known as coolant or coolant fluids, are substances that are applied directly to the cutting tool or workpiece during machining operations. They have multiple func...

Introduction to Slip Clutches A slip clutch is a mechanical device used to limit torque transfer in a system by slipping when a certain torque threshold is exceeded. It is designed to protect the motor, machinery, and/or operator from abrupt stoppages or excessive forces. Slip clutches act as a safety mechanism that allows motion to continue when a mechanism is jammed or overloaded, ultimately preventing damage to the system. Advantages of using slip clutches in mechanical systems Slip clutches offer several advantages when incorporated into mechanical systems: 1. Overload Protection: One of the primary applications of slip clutches is to provide overload protection. When a mechanism becomes jammed or encounters excessive forces, the slip clutch will slip, allowing the motion t...
