DRIVABILITY vs. HOLDING CAPACITY
People dont realize that the more power you want
to hold, the less drivability you can have. We
strive to tighten that gap, and design the most
drivable clutches available at that given power
level.

The Centerforce Dual-Friction clutch system is a
performance matched pressure plate disc
combination. These pressure plates feature the
patented centrifugal weight system (where
applicable) and specialized machining processes
to provide a performance clutch that offers
exceptional street characteristics while offering
outstanding holding capacity and durability. The
Dual-Friction disc has a full facing on the
pressure plate side for drivability and longevity
and a carbon composite puc (segmented) facing
is used on the flywheel side for a
positive engagement for increased
holding capacity. Dual Friction is
engineered for those who are looking for
the ultimate in high torque street, strip and
off-road holding capacity and performance without
sacrificing pedal effort and driver control.

Our patented Centerforce Dual-Friction disc
system distributes pressure plate clamping force
evenly over a 360-degree friction-facing on one
side of the clutch disc, while the opposing side
uses a segmented friction-facing to concentrate
clamping pressure and maximize clutch holding
capacity. This combination of Dual Friction
facings coupled with our performance pressure
plate creates the ultimate clutch system that is
engineered for smooth drivability, maximum
longevity and awesome grip!

Centrifugal Weights The patented Centerforce
weight system provides additional torque holding
capacity by harnessing centrifugal force. As
engine RPM increases, so does the clutch clamping
force created by the Centerforce centrifugal
weight system. This unique technology
offers enthusiasts a progressive type clutch that
actually increases grip to match engine speed and
power all the while maintaining smooth and
user-friendly clutch control.

Ball Bearing Design At Centerforce we provide
innovative leadership in clutch technology by
creating patented processes like this ball
bearing clutch design. When possible we use the
ball bearings as a fulcrum (pivot) point for the
pressure plate diaphragm spring. By utilizing
this unique system we can increase clutch holding
capacity and keep the pedal effort low.
This also allows our engineers to increase the
quality and repeatability of each clutch
developed with this process.
