    Centrifugal clutch uses centrifugal force to engage and disengage power transmission between a driving element like a crankshaft and a driven element like a transmission system. It consists of shoes attached to a spider on the driving member that expand outward due to centrifugal force to engage friction lining on the shoes with a driven member. This transmits rotation at preset engine speeds without a gearbox. Advantages are simple construction and low maintenance, while disadvantages include slip and low power transmission capacity. Applications include mopeds and scooters.

    What is Centrifugal clutch?


    Centrifugal Clutch is one of the friction type clutch.
    This type of clutch works on the Centrifugal Force.
    No Manual Operation Required to Operate Clutch.
    It is Used in Fixed ( Preset ) Speed Vehicles. No Gearbox is Used in such type
    Vehicles.

    It consists of Driving Element , Driven Element , Spider, Shoes, & Spring.


    The Spider Is Located on the Driving Member.
    Shoes are Connected to Driving Member with the help of Spring as Shown in Below
    Figure. The Shoes are Expands Radially in the way provided by Spider.
    The Spring Can be Adjust For Limit of Expansion to Change Vehicle Speed Limit.
    The Driven Member has Friction Lining at Inner Surface & Shoes has Friction Lining
    on its Outer Surface.
    The Driving Element is Connected to Crankshaft & Driven Member is Connected to
    to Transmission System.

    Working of centrifugal clutch:-


    ENGAGEMENT:-

    1) When Vehicle Engine Starts, The Driving Element Starts Rotating with Crankshaft.

    2) When Driving Element Starts Rotating , the Shoes Expands Radially Due to Centrifugal
    Force.

    3) When Driving Element Achieved Preset Speed, the Friction Starts Between Shoes &
    Driven Element. Hence Due to Friction, Driven Member Starts Rotate at a speed of
    Driving Element. Hence Clutch gets Engaged.

    DISENGAGEMENT:-

    When Vehicle Engine Stops , The Driving Element Stops Rotating. Hence Shoes Comes
    inwards the Spider. Hence Clutch Gets Disengaged.

    Advantages and disadvantages:-

    3/4
    Advantages of centrifugal clutch :-

    Simple In Construction.
    Less Maintenance Required due to Simple Construction.

    Disadvantages :-
    Slip Occurs Between Shoes & Driven Member.
    Low Power transmission Capacity Due to Slip Occurs.

    Application of centrifugal clutch:-


    The applications of the centrifugal clutch are in following vehicles:-

    Mopeds.
    Scooters.
