Aitra Industrial Motion Centric Centrifugal Clutches for unmatched flexibility in solving real world problems Centrifugal clutches are the original soft start clutch but they can also be used as brakes on runaway Systems? Applications such as elevators and lift Systems need a back-up/fail-safe mechanism, and a centrifugal clutch is a proven, cost-effective solution. Product modifications with the Centric® design are simple. Recently, a lift System manufacturer easily modified its machine design to incorporate the Centric clutch as its fail-safe mechanism. Centrifugal clutches are perfect for dual drive or stand-by Systems. Thse clutches are often used on high inertia applications like crushers, fans, pumps and back-up generators. The heavy starting torque associated with such equipment can cause torque spikes that shorten the life of motors, speed reducers and other drive train components. Machine designers can extend euipment life - and save money -by protecting their System with Centric clutch.
