  • Centrifugal cluth with improved thermal management
    Publication number: 20120018276
    Abstract: A centrifugal friction clutch providing for a separation between the pressure and/or fixed plates and the friction surfaces of the clutch discs to provide for reduced heat transfer to said pressure and fixed plates, reduced risk of deformation of said plates, and improved distribution of axial forces to maintain maximum frictional engagement. Said pressure plates and fixed plates further including air impeller vanes or similar structures on their interior surface to further improve heat dissipation and reduce the risk of deformation.
