This design was developed by the Compliant Mechanisms Research Group (CMR) from Brigham Young University (BYU). Follow us at @byucmr on Instagram or learn more about compliant mechanisms by visiting cmr.byu.edu. This Floating-Opposing-Arm (FOA) Centrifugal Clutch, developed by the BYU CMR lab, utilizes compliant mechanism technology to produce a high performance clutch with only two components. The clutch shoes are fabricated from a single piece of material and the flexible segments connecting the shoes eliminate the need for springs. The two parts of the FOA clutch can be seen below. What is a centrifugal clutch? - A clutch that uses centrifugal force to engage two concentric shafts. How does it work? -The torque is transmitted from the central drive hub through the floating clutch shoes …
