Since 1948, Centric Clutch has been manufacturing

Centrifugal Clutches for a wide range of industries.

Designed as a means to connect power in a drive train

with soft start or delay capabilities, Centric’s centrifugal

clutch was the industry’s first overload protection

device with repeatable performance.

Capitalizing on the need for a dependable and

repeatable torque limiter, Centric produced the Trig-

O-Matic Overload Release Clutch, the original single

position, mechanical torque limiting device. Customer

requests for a simple cost effective overload device

led to the development of the Trig-O-Matic Lite and

Centrigard™ which further solidified the company’s

position as an industry leader.

Centric revolutionized torque limiting technology with

the VariTorque, the first single position pneumatic

overload clutch. The VariTorque was designed to meet

the specific needs of paper converting machinery

where large starting inertias, high production speeds,

and the possibility of equipment failure is great.

The addition of three Model H clutches have helped to

position the Centric family of products as one of the

industry’s premier offerings of mechanical overload

protection devices.

By combining Centric’s industry expertise and

engineering capabilities with Boston Gear’s distributor

network and responsiveness oriented culture, customer

expectations will continue to be met and exceeded.

In a world where down time is unacceptable, Boston

Gear will continue the Centric tradition of producing

high quality, durable clutches quickly and efficiently.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Boston Gear will

provide you, our valued customers, with the answers to

all of your torque overload needs.

applications are the same, Boston Gear is available to
