Centrifugal advance is a mechanism used in ignition systems, particularly in older internal combustion engines, to automatically adjust the ignition timing based on engine speed. As the engine RPM increases, weights attached to a spring-loaded mechanism are thrown outward due to centrifugal force, causing the ignition timing to advance. This adjustment helps optimize engine performance and efficiency, ensuring that the spark plug fires at the right moment for effective combustion. It allows for smoother acceleration and better power delivery across a range of operating conditions.

What is centrifugal timing advance?

On older vehicles timing was adjusted through a mechanical means. There are a set of weights that, when spun, (by the rotor shaft) are extended to advance timing of the spark. At low rpm's they are retracted by a set of springs.


Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.
