Description
Overview:
This centrifugal clutch is a robust drive component for machines using a 15mm output shaft. Built with a heavy-duty steel drum and durable friction shoes, it automatically engages as engine speed increases and disengages at idle, giving smooth, controlled power transfer to belts, chains, or couplings. With a 100mm drum and 112mm overall diameter, it suits compact machinery where reliable, low-maintenance drive is required. It helps protect engines and driveline components by reducing shock loads during start-up and stop-start work. Ideal for small plant, site and garden equipment such as compactors, mixers, shredders, tillers and similar machinery. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 969 278. Check the key dimensions before ordering to ensure a straightforward replacement and correct operation.
Key Features:
- 15mm bore for an accurate fit on compatible engine shafts (not the same as 5/8 in / 15.9mm)
- Drum diameter: 100mm; overall diameter: 112mm for compact installation
- MPN: 969 278 for easy identification and reordering
- Automatic engagement for smooth take-up and reduced engine stalling under load
- Durable steel construction with wear-resistant friction elements for long service life
- Helps protect belts, chains and gearboxes by cushioning shock loads
- Stable, predictable engagement characteristics for consistent performance
- Low-maintenance design suited to frequent stop-start duty
- Straightforward to fit with standard workshop tools; no complex setup required
- Practical replacement part to restore drive efficiency and reduce downtime
Typical Applications:
Used on small plant and garden machinery where automatic power engagement is needed, including plate compactors, cement mixers, chippers/shredders, rotavators, scarifiers, conveyors and pumps. Suitable for equipment that benefits from idle disengagement and smooth drive take-up in tight spaces or frequent stop-start operation.
