Trimmer Clutch Assemblies

Clutch assemblies are essential components for hedge trimmers and brush cutters, ensuring smooth power transfer from the engine to the cutting head.

The trimmer clutch engages and disengages the cutting head from the engine, allowing the tool to operate safely and efficiently. The hedge trimmer clutch assembly connects the engine to the cutting mechanism, while the trimmer clutch drum rotates and houses the clutch shoes, transferring power directly to the cutting head. A worn drum or damaged clutch shoes can lead to slipping, uneven cutting, or reduced performance. The brush cutter clutch kit includes clutch shoes, springs, and other components to restore proper engagement and power transfer. Meanwhile, the trimmer clutch cover assembly protects internal parts from dust, debris, and moisture, and the trimmer clutch shaft ensures smooth rotational movement between the clutch and engine.
