At Amsbeck, we have been manufacturing centrifugal clutches and centrifugal brakes since 1982.
Our product portfolio also includes gearboxes, PTO clutches, and a wide range of custom-engineered drive solutions.
These custom solutions include slip-on gearboxes for combustion engines, hydraulic disc clutches for low torque applications, and integrated systems such as centrifugal brakes combined with planetary gearboxes or centrifugal clutches paired with various shaft coupling configurations.


Reliable engagement and consistent power transfer for demanding applications.

Engineered for controlled braking and dependable performance when it matters most.

Engage or disengage systems through hydraulic or pneumatic control with precision. Tailored
drive solutions designed around your specific requirements.
In many industrial and mobile applications, standard components are not sufficient to meet specific performance, space, or integration requirements. That is why Amsbeck focuses on developing application-specific drive solutions that are precisely tailored to each use case.
Our engineering approach takes into account critical parameters such as torque, engagement speed, load cycles, thermal behavior, and installation constraints. By optimizing these factors, we ensure reliable performance, reduced wear, and efficient system operation under real-world conditions.
We support OEMs and industrial customers throughout the entire development process – from initial concept and design validation to prototyping and serial production. Close collaboration with your engineering team allows us to integrate centrifugal clutches, brakes, and gearbox components seamlessly into your system architecture.
Typical applications for our custom solutions include construction equipment, compressor and pump systems, agricultural machinery, municipal equipment, and safety-critical systems. Depending on the application, components can be combined into fully integrated assemblies to reduce complexity and improve overall system performance.
In addition, our modular design approach enables flexible adaptation of existing solutions, allowing for faster development cycles and cost-efficient implementation. Service-friendly designs with replaceable wear components such as springs, linings, and flyweights support efficient maintenance and reduced downtime.

Amsbeck Power Solutions is a manufacturer of centrifugal clutches and centrifugal brakes for industrial and OEM applications. Our products are designed to ensure reliable torque transmission, controlled engagement, and safe braking performance under demanding operating conditions.
Our centrifugal clutches are engineered for applications requiring smooth startup, overload protection, and reduced wear. By precisely defining engagement speed and torque characteristics, we help optimize system performance and increase operational efficiency.
Our centrifugal brakes are used in safety-critical systems where controlled motion and reliable deceleration are essential. Typical use cases include controlled descent systems, lifting equipment, industrial doors, and marine applications.
All products are developed with a strong focus on durability, thermal performance, and seamless integration into existing drive systems. Thanks to our in-house manufacturing and engineering expertise, we deliver both standard and fully customized solutions.
With decades of experience in power transmission technology, Amsbeck combines engineering expertise with in-house production capabilities. This allows us to maintain full control over quality, lead times, and customization.
Our customers benefit from application-specific solutions, fast response times, and reliable performance in demanding environments. Whether for mobile machinery or stationary industrial systems, we deliver solutions designed for long-term operation and cost-efficient maintenance.
