Centrifugal Clutch Design and Equations

Internally expanding friction shoes are held in contact, by the force due to rotation against the force of a light spring. The torque capacity
increases as the speed increases.

Torque capacity (2 shoes)

=2N

where:

m = mass of shoe
k = spring stiffness
x = deflection of spring
= coefficient of friction
F = radial force on drum
N = rotational speed
= angular velocity
