In this short video, I 3D print and demonstrate my clutch pack

well, bike clutches are paper, so should be fine :-) Plus more spring force makes a huge difference

If I make a new one to mate to an engine or so, I'll definitely use more springs and see if that helps from slipping

Now, to be able to design a clutch to make a go cart from an old lawnmower engine would be cool if it would last more than once around the track.

i have a centrifugal clutch gokart, and its the most common type of gokart clutch behind the CVT.

Unless it's slipping like crazy it should hold just fine, no slip would mean no heat or wear

Wow someone actually did it, id like to see this attached to a gearbox with 5 gears or so and a toyan engine!

i think you should run fluid in there because it wont be long before it all melts together

Try destruction testing it! Put the clutch in the vice, hook the shaft to a drill, and go until it melts

I suspect the surfaces will partially melt then start gluing together before being completely torn apart. Is there some way it may be improved by using inserts of a more durable material without making it too hard to manufacture.

@RonPaul20082012 10 ай бұрын

It would pair well with fluid coupling and if the clutch was operated hydraulically by a pump and a valve body.

Ive been trying to prototype a small clutch for RC vehicles for awhile. I started pouring silicone molds in order to make resin/sand composites for thd clutch pads, it all failed. Im going to try your hotglue method.
