Description
Overview:
The centrifugal clutch for a 5/8" (16mm) shaft is a robust, automatic engagement drive component for small petrol engines used on construction and garden machinery. Built with a durable metal drum and friction shoe assembly, it transmits power smoothly by engaging at around 1,900 rpm, helping to protect the engine from stalling and reducing shock loads to the drivetrain. With a 125mm drum diameter and 100mm clutch diameter, it is sized for common compact plant layouts. This clutch is particularly suited to plate compactors and similar vibrating equipment and is a practical replacement for worn units on engines such as the G100 and GX100. It supports consistent performance under frequent start-stop use and helps extend belt and drivetrain life through controlled take-up.
Key Features:
- Suits a 5/8" (16mm) straight shaft for straightforward compatibility with many small engines.
- Pre‐set engagement speed of approximately 1,900 rpm for smooth take-up and reduced stalling.
- 125mm drum diameter and 100mm clutch diameter for common compact plant fitments.
- Durable metal drum and friction shoes designed for heavy, repetitive cycles.
- Smooth power transmission helps protect engine and drivetrain from shock loads.
- Ideal for plate compactors and similar equipment where controlled engagement is critical.
- Helps recover performance on machines with slipping or inconsistent drive.
- Low-maintenance, self-acting design with no manual operation required.
- Suitable for regular replacement during scheduled servicing to maintain efficiency.
- Versatile option for construction and garden machinery using compatible small engines.
Typical Applications:
Used on plate compactors (wacker plates) and other small plant where the engine needs to idle freely and engage drive automatically under throttle. Common in site preparation, landscaping, and grounds maintenance tasks where frequent starts and stops are required. Also appropriate for compact machinery that relies on a 5/8" (16mm) shaft and benefits from controlled engagement to reduce vibration and wear.
