An overrunning clutch transmits rotary motion only in one direction. It is used to eliminate reverse torques generated by the inertia of implements with heavy rotating masses such as rotors or flywheels during deceleration or stopping.
The GE torsionally resilient joint is used on drivelines for different functions depending upon the specific application -The GE can reduce torque peaks generated by the inertia of machines with heavy flywheels or rotors during abrupt starts or deceleration. -The GE can smooth alternating or pulsating loads that may shorten the life of power transmission components. -The GE can modify the natural frequency of a system, to avoid resonance events that could cause failures. - The GE can smooth torsional vibrations generated by unequal working angles on drivelines with more than one joint.
