2. Centrifugal clutch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch

   Centrifugal clutches were used in railway locomotives before 1858, [1] and referred to (in relation to electric motors) in a patent of 1899. [2] A patent was issued in the United States for an automotive centrifugal clutch (on an electric vehicle) in 1898. [3] There is a design for a toy 'automatic clutch' in Meccano Magazine of June 1934. [4]

3. Saxomat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxomat

   The Saxomat consisted of two independent systems: the centrifugal clutch, and the servo clutch. The centrifugal clutch was engaged above a certain engine speed by centrifugal force acting on spinning weights inside the clutch, similar to a centrifugal governor. The servo clutch used an electric switch that supplied manifold vacuum via an ...

4. Reactive centrifugal force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force

   Another example of a rotating device in which a reactive centrifugal force can be identified used to describe the system behavior is the centrifugal clutch. A centrifugal clutch is used in small engine-powered devices such as chain saws, go-karts and model helicopters. It allows the engine to start and idle without driving the device, but ...

5. Chainsaw safety features - Wikipedia

   Centrifugal clutch. The centrifugal clutch disengages the chain from the engine when the engine is only at idling speed, engaging the drive automatically when the throttle is squeezed and the engine is at full speed. The purpose of this clutch is to avoid having a moving chain when the saw is idling and temporarily not cutting.

7. Semi-automatic transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_transmission

   An early example of a semi-automatic motorcycle transmission was the use of an automatic centrifugal clutch in the early 1960s by the Czechoslovakian manufacturer Jawa Moto. [83] Their design was used without permission in the 1965 Honda Cub 50 , which resulted in Jawa suing Honda for patent infringement and Honda agreeing to pay royalties for ...

8. Preselector gearbox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preselector_gearbox

   The best-known is the fluid flywheel, used for touring cars such as the Daimler (Armstrong Siddeley used a centrifugal clutch). [2] Sports cars used a Newton centrifugal clutch. [2] This was a multiple plate dry clutch, similar to racing manual clutches of the time, but with the pressure plate centrifugally actuated to engage at around 600rpm. [17]

9. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

   A centrifugal clutch is used in small engine-powered devices such as chain saws, go-karts and model helicopters. It allows the engine to start and idle without driving the device but automatically and smoothly engages the drive as the engine speed rises.
