A selection of Sprag One Way Bearings. Sprag clutch bearings allow your application to turn one way whilst locking in the opposite direction.
- One way bearings, also known as clutch bearings, or non-reversing bearings, allow rotation in a single direction.
- Commonly used in over-runnung, or backstopping applications.
- The unidirectional operation allows these bearings to play a crucial role in various mechanical systems where controlled rotation, overrunning protection, backstopping, indexing, or intermittent motion is required.
- Designed for press fit installation. Correct interference dimensions must be maintained to obtain maximum bearing and clutch performance.
- Mount the clutch ensuring that the shaft drive directionis in the direction indicated by the arrow on the inner race. To install, use a press tool / do not hammer or apply other stock to clutch.
- Make sure housing has enough strength to withstand press required for fitting installation. High carbon hardened steel alloy.
- Always lock out power switch before installing, removing, lubricating or servicing a system that uses Cam Clutch products.
- When connecting or disconnecting Cam Clutch products, eye protection is required. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves and safety shoes.
