Eaton´s centrifugal clutches stand for their reliability and durability proven in the field for more than 10 years. Eaton supplies centrifugal clutches to the major OEMs who manufacture temperature control units for the commercial refrigerated trucks and trailers industry.
Transport refrigeration (cooling) equipment, cold chain monitoring solutions and replacement components help protect global food supply and other perishable cargo. Centrifugal clutch is one of the key components to drive the compressor of a refrigeration unit. It acts as a coupling element to transfer torque from the engine to the compressor. The engine builds up sufficient torque and transmits then torque to compressor.
