Suco centrifugal clutches
F-Type Centrifugal Clutch
The F-Type’s compact, self-increasing design transmits remarkably high torque for its size – a performance factor of about 2.5 – and its springs and linings are easy to reach and replace.

How it works
How It Works
Self-Increasing Effect
The profiled hub is shaped so that, under torque, it wedges against the flyweights – adding force to the linings so more torque can be transmitted.
Inside the Clutch
Flyweights (2) sit on the profiled hub (1), held by tension springs (3) hooked into the linings (4). With speed the linings meet the clutch drum (5).
Why the F-Type
Most Torque per Size
Compact
High torque in very little space.
Easy to Service
Accessible springs and removable linings.
Located Linings
A crimp in each lining stops it moving sideways.
Note
Loose linings can make some noise in service – rarely a nuisance.
