Centrifugal clutch for e.g. automatic transmission, has guide sleeve that guides axial movement of supporting element with respect to housing

摘要

A housing (16) is provided with supporting areas (66) while a supporting element (68) is provided with supporting areas (70). Rollers (64) are supported between and are radially displaceable by centrifugal force along the respective pair of supporting areas to exert force in a clutch engaging direction. A guide sleeve (90) guides the axial movement of the supporting element relative to the housing.
