ABSTRACT:
A centrifugal clutch having at least one input plate and at least one output disk concentric with the plate. At a predetermined speed of input rotation, the plates and disks are forced to move axially into frictional engagement by weights that pivot in response to centrifugal force. Pivoting of the weights is restrained by axially oriented springs, and the speed of engagement can be varied by adjusting the spring force. The springs are accessible for adjustment without diassembling the clutch.
