Abstract

A compliant mechanism is a mechanism in which some or all motion comes from deflection of its members. Several years ago, a one piece centrifugal clutch based on a compliant mechanism was developed and implemented in several products. It offers many cost and assembly advantages over traditional clutch designs containing at least five components.
