Centerforce

Performance Clutch Innovation Since 1982

Centerforce has earned its reputation as a leading manufacturer of performance clutch systems through decades of innovation and quality craftsmanship. Founded by legendary Hot Rodder and SEMA Hall of Fame member Bill Hays, the brand revolutionized clutch technology in the early 1980s with the patented Centerforce Weighted Clutch System. The Centerforce design applies proven principles of weight and centrifugal force to develop increased clamping loads while maintaining easy pedal effort, solving the common problems that plagued high-performance engines.

A three-generation family-owned business, Centerforce operates from a state-of-the-art facility in Prescott, Arizona, where over 1600 different non-asbestos clutch/pressure plate applications are manufactured for automotive enthusiasts worldwide. The company's commitment to continuous innovation is reflected in multiple patents covering groundbreaking technologies including the Centerforce II, Dual Friction, DFX, and DYAD Drive System.
