Abstract

A centrifugal clutch has a clutch drum and a strip therein elastically secured to a clutch center and transfers a driving torque by servo action. During normal torque transfer the strip drives in a pushing manner with servo action. Upon overload its driving point changes onto a shoulder provided with a pressure spring and the torque transfer becomes a pulling action with no servo action.
