Here's a YouTube vid on A/C clutch operation, if you are interested:

Essentially, the springs on the outer hub absorb the impact when the clutch engages, which it does when power is sent to the electromagnetic coil, which pulls the outer clutch hub in to engage the clutch and allow the belt to turn the compressor.
