The Multiquip 416351320 Clutch Shoe and Boss Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for MVC88VTH and MVC88VTHW plate compactors. As an authorized Multiquip parts source, DHS Equipment supplies this assembly direct from the manufacturer, ensuring exact material grades, friction surface dimensions, and boss geometry match original production specifications. This is a precision-fit assembly built to restore full clutch engagement performance on MVC88VTH and MVC88VTHW machines without adaptation or modification to the surrounding drivetrain.
Key Features
- OEM Friction Material Grade — Clutch shoe lining material meets the same wear and heat resistance spec as the original, sustaining consistent engagement force across the full RPM range of the compactor engine.
- Boss and Shoe Supplied as a Matched Assembly — Both components are paired and balanced at the factory, so the assembly installs as a single unit onto the existing drum without secondary fitting or shimming.
- Confirmed Fitment for MVC88VTH and MVC88VTHW — Part 416351320 is verified for both the standard and water-tank equipped variants of the MVC88 series plate compactor.
- Restores Full Centrifugal Clutch Engagement — A worn clutch shoe causes the engine to spin freely without transferring power to the eccentric drive, resulting in weak or absent compaction force; this assembly brings engagement back to spec.
- Centrifugal Clutch Safety Integrity — A correctly functioning clutch shoe assembly ensures the drive disengages cleanly at idle, preventing unintended plate movement when the operator is repositioning the machine.
The clutch shoe and boss assembly is the centrifugal engagement mechanism that transfers engine power to the compactor's eccentric shaft, which generates the vibration force needed for soil and aggregate compaction. At idle, the shoes retract inward and the clutch spins free; as engine RPM rises, centrifugal force throws the shoes outward against the drum, locking the drive and transmitting full torque to the vibration system. When the shoe lining wears thin or the boss becomes damaged, the clutch slips or fails to fully engage, causing a noticeable drop in plate vibration amplitude and compaction output.
