10.7 SLIP CLUTCH MECHANISM
[D]: Reverse Roller
[E]: Slip Clutch Cover
The slip clutch consists of two hubs connected by a drive spring [A]. The
spring grips the input hub [B] loosely and grips the output hub [C] tightly. It
will slip if the resistance to rotation is too great. The hubs and spring are
precisely machined, and the output hub and spring slip when a single sheet
of paper feeds between the feed roller and reverse roller.
