Abstract
In order to improve a centrifugal multiplate clutch with a pot-type clutch drum and a rotor which has several disk shaped plates, fixed on a motor shaft, each plate having a hub and a centrifugal weight connected by a rocker bar so that, when the no-load number of revolutions is considerably exceeded, the centrifugal weight is moved radially outwards and frictionally engages the clutch drum, the invention proposes that the plate contour is continuously tapered in its width starting from the hub to the transition of the rocker bar into the centrifugal weight.
