What are the features of a Hilliard centrifugal clutch?

What are the features of a Hilliard centrifugal clutch?

Hilliard centrifugal clutches have soft transmission of power and load free starting. Hilliard’s linkless centrifugal clutches combine a dowel pin, vibration dampening bushing and a symmetrical spring design.

How does the Hilliard pneumatic overload release clutch work?

The Hilliard Pneumatic Overload Release Clutch provides adjustable, on-the-fly overload protection by using air pressure to regulate torque. Air pressure puts force on the balls placed inside the pockets in the clutch, and provides the means for torque transmission.

What can a Hilliard PTO clutch be used for?

Similar static and dynamic coefficients of friction provide for extremely smooth torque control. The Hilliard PTO Clutch can be used for most start and stop applications that require positive engagement/disengagement and overload protection.

What does a centrifugal clutch do for a car?

It smooths out and reduces starting current surge. Centrifugal clutches are slip-free at rated load and speed. They protect against overload by limiting torque, absorbing shock and eliminating torsional resonance. Hilliard centrifugal clutches have soft transmission of power and load free starting.

Hilliard centrifugal clutches have soft transmission of power and load free starting. Hilliard’s linkless centrifugal clutches combine a dowel pin, vibration dampening bushing and a symmetrical spring design.

How does the Hilliard front drive system work?

The Hilliard Front Drive System is an electro-mechanically activated bidirectional overrunning clutch. When 12 volts of power are sent via the 4WD switch, the unit is activated to engage both front wheels instantaneously, whenever the rear wheels lose traction.

How does the Hilliard auto Lok differential work?

The Hilliard Auto-Lok Differential offers equal power transferred to both wheels on an axle regardless of traction, allowing positive back drive through both wheels. The self- contained unit locks and unlocks automatically providing the benefits of both an open and locked differential, depending on the ground conditions.

How are centrifugal clutches protect against overload?

Centrifugal clutches are slip-free at rated load and speed. They protect against overload by limiting torque, absorbing shock and eliminating torsional resonance.
