Reell Precision Manufacturing’s fully mechanical overload clutch products ensure seamless operation of the tailgate, transmitting torque until the torque limit is exceeded during an abuse event (overload situation). With precise torque limiting capabilities, the overload clutches prevent damage to motors, gears, and drive systems, offering peace of mind for vehicle owners. 

Designed for quiet and smooth operation throughout the full range of the tailgate motion, Reell’s overload clutches re-engage once the abuse load event ceases, ensuring uninterrupted functionality. Even in situations where the mechanical drive is not powered, Reell’s overload clutches support the manual movement of the tailgate, providing added versatility and convenience. 

Reell's tailgate overload clutch capabilities deliver exceptional durability and long life, making them the ideal choice for powered tailgate applications. Experience the difference with Reell Precision Manufacturing's power tailgate overload protection clutches and the performance and safety of your vehicle's tailgate.
