Centrifugal clutch

                      Centrifugal clutch
Intro
Centrifugal clutch is mainly used in automatic gear system .compare to other clutch types its costly  but it has more advantages then other system.



Working
The centrifugal clutch automatically disengages itself when the speed falls below and engages when the speed rises above a pre-set value. centrifugal bob-weight are positioned in such a way that the centrifugal forces exerted by them with the clutch rotation result in the release levers due to the outer end of the release lever moving towards the flywheel . This results in the proportionate increase of centrifugally generated pressure with the increase of engine speed. Therefore at low engine speeds only the spring pressure acts, while at high engine speeds the force generated by the weights supplements the spring pressure. Thus smooth and acceptable gear changes are obtained under varying conditions of load and speed.
