Centrifgual clutch question

[james65]

I have an engine with a 1 inch shaft, it is a low RPM engine 2K.
I would like to know what centrifugal would work with it. I have ruled out a manual actuated clutch. Any help will be appreciated.

What are you using the motor on? Got a picture?

Nice flathead, here you go. Not sure when it engages, but I know it's made for a 3600 rpm engine. You can make it engage faster by spreading the spring coils twisting a flathead screwdriver equally on all of them, or add extra weights to the pad pivot points with washers to make them engage quicker..

usually they engage at 1600rpm (give or take)
if you want to engage lower, you need to get a lighter spring (possibly one that engages at 1300 rpm for best result for that motor)

That's an interesting motor. If you want the complete low down on clutches, talk to Jim at http://www.maxtorque.com/ss.php Those guys perfected the clutch.

I dig your motor choice. Gotta ask what's the HP and who made it? Are ya gonna use it on a motorbike?
Interesting, clutch will mount on the right hand side of the motor

It is on a good running running bike. However I would like to convert it to centrifugal clutch.

Will try that first as I have a c-clutch on hand. THX

Only about 1-1/2Hp but huge torque!
