Product details
D012-1200 is the clutch agitator assembly for 20 Series uprights from Simplicity and Riccar that run a poly-V belt. The clutch is what engages the agitator to the drive so the brushroll turns while the machine is running and disengages it when the handle is upright, protecting both the belt and the carpet.
If the agitator has stopped turning while the motor still runs at normal volume, or it only turns intermittently, the clutch mechanism is a reasonable place to look before assuming the belt itself has failed.
- Part number: D012-1200
- Drive type: poly-V belt
- Fits: 20 Series uprights
Confirm your upright uses the poly-V belt drive rather than a flat belt before ordering, since Simplicity and Riccar built the 20 Series with more than one drive configuration.
Inspect the belt itself for glazing or cracking at the same time, since a slipping belt and a worn clutch produce a similar loss of brushroll power and are easiest to rule out together. Ships to you in 2-5 business days.
