The compact design and self-increasing effect allow this clutch to transmit remarkably high torques while needing very little space, resulting in performance factors of ca. 2.5.

Because the tension springs are easily accessible and the linings removable. the parts subject to wear are easy to replace. Because the linings are not secured to the flyweights some noise is possible in service, but normally not sufficient to cause a nuisance.

Self increasing effect: the profiled hub has a special form which causes a wedging effect between the profile and the flyweights when torque is applied to the clutch. This results in an additional force on the linings and allows a higher torque to be transmitted.

In contrast to F-Type clutches, the linings of pin-guided clutches are permanently bonded to the flyweights instead of being mounted on loose carriers. The guide pins of W-Type clutches provide accurate guidance for the flyweights, which ensures quiet operation of the clutch.

For this type of clutch, the performance factor for torque transmission is ca 1.5.

The W-Type combines the advantages of F- Type and S-Type clutches. Because the tension springs are easily accessible and the linings removable, the parts subject to wear are easy to replace.

As with the S-Type, the guide pins provide accurate guidance for the flyweights, which ensures quiet operation of the clutch. For this type of clutch, the performance factor for torque transmission is 1.0.

P-Type clutches are extremely narrow.

In addition, the asymmetric pivot clutch is the quietest-running clutch in the SUCO product range. for this type of clutch, the performance factor for torque transmission is ca. 1.75 or ca. 1.25 depending on the direction of rotation.
