PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a centrifugal clutch having simplified in structure and reduced in size. SOLUTION: A centrifugal clutch for coupling the rotation force of a driving part, comprising a hub fixed in its center on a front driving part. The hub has a plurality of arms extending in the substantially radial direction from its center. A plurality of clutch shoe means which bond the driving part and a driven part are slidably attached, in a substantially circumferential position with respect to the center of the hub, to the plurality of the arms to move independently from the other clutch means, along the respective arms, inside and outside with respect to the center of the hub. The clutch comprises a controlling means which controls the outermost limit where the clutch shoes can move with respect to the center of the hub along the arms of the hub and a driving means which drives the plurality of the clutch shoe means inward along the arms of the hub to the center of the hub.
