Sprag clutch

A sprag clutch is a special kind of device that helps to keep machines running smoothly. It works by using small springs to press against other moving parts in a machine and make sure that things are running properly. This is especially important in cars and other machines that have to make quick changes in direction or speed. By using the sprag clutch, the machine can make these quick changes without any jerky movements or damage to its parts.
