Centric Clutches
Since 1948, Centric Clutch has been manufacturing Centrifugal Clutches for a wide range of industries. Designed as a means to connect power in a drive train with soft start or delay capabilities, Centric’s centrifugal clutch was the industry’s first overload protection device with repeatable performance. Capitalizing on the need for a dependable and repeatable torque limiter, Centric produced the Trig-OMatic Overload Release Clutch, the original single position, mechanical torque limiting device. Customer requests for a simple cost effective overload device led to the development of the Trig-O-Matic Lite, which further solidified the company’s position as an industry leader.
Centric Clutches has been manufacturing the Trig-O-Matic and Trig-O-Matic Lite overload release clutches at their Charlotte, North Carolina plant. They have a complete selection of torque overload devices, along with their Model H clutch, and their entire line of centrifugal clutches comes with Boston Gear's 120 years of mechanical power transmission expertise - so ask for Centric Clutches by name.
