HOUSING FEED CLUTCH

A clutch is a mechanical device that engages and disengages power transmission. In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts). The clutch connects the two shafts so they may be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds (disengaged).

A housing is a mechanical component's container or covering. In restaurant equipment, a housing is an exterior case or enclosure used to protect an interior mechanism, including integrated fittings or brackets to keep internal components in place. The housing prevents the interior mechanism from being fouled by outside debris or to contain the internal components.
