Freewheels - Their Functions

and Applications

CROSS+MORSE

Freewheels are precision clutches which positively lock to transmit torque in one
direction of rotation, but are totally released in the opposite direction, as in the sketches
alongside of a roller-ramp system. Original types of freewheels (also referred to as OneWay clutches) were based on the ratchet and pawl principle, of which the Cross IRF
clutches are a direct
development, and these often provide the simplest and lowest cost solutions for many
applications. Modern demands of high speeds, quiet operation, and high accuracy of
control have led to the development of an extensive range of sprag, roller ramp, and
contact-free
element clutches, to provide the designer with a wide selection of options for unidirectional drive. Freewheels are used for three basic functions of transmission;
overrunning, indexing and backstopping.

In this mode of operation the output

In this mode reciprocating motion

applied to the driving race of the
clutch is transformed into unidirectional intermittent motion of the
driven race. This function is typically
used for indexing of conveyors,
packaging materials and sheet steel in
presses. The intermittent movement
can also be used as a means of
obtaining slow rotational speeds for
products such as inking rollers.

The object of backstop clutches is to

prevent reverse rotation of the drive
shafts, which otherwise would cause
damage to the machinery.
Backstopping is achieved simply by
anchoring one race of the clutch so
that the other race is free to rotate in
one direction, but is immediately
locked in reverse. These are typically
used on conveyors, elevators, cranes
and pumps.

can rotate faster than the input or

continue to rotate if the input is
stopped. Should the input drive be
reversed there will be no drive to the
output. This is typically used in
starter drives for engines or turbines
to provide automatic decoupling of
starter motor drive when operational
speed is reached; on bi-motor drives;
and also to overcome the problems of
backdrive when high inertia, high
speed drives are shut down.

Freewheel Types
CROSS+MORSE

Freewheels are directional couplings where the driving member positively rotates the driven member in one
Power Transmission Solutions
direction, but automatically disengages itself if the direction of rotation is reversed or if the driven
member
rotates faster than the driver. Thus two modes of operation exist; transmission of torque, or overrunning (idling).

DRIVE
3

Torque is transmitted from one race to the other by the pawls (3)
engaging in the ratchet teeth formed on the inside of the outer
race. If the races are rotated in the opposite direction the pawls are
able to run free down the length of the ratchet teeth. The pawls are
maintained in contact with the ratchet teeth at all times by robust
leaf springs (4) so ensuring positive drive is always available. Inner
and outer races are maintained concentric to one another by the
light duty ball bearing race (5).
IRFs provide a compact, high torque, low cost solution for many
applications where low shaft speeds are involved (150 rpm max).
They are ideal for overrunning applications involving long periods
in drive mode, as no wear takes place due to torsionals etc., whilst
transmitting torque. They are unsuitable for backstop applications.
For detailed information on IRF Freewheels refer to page 19.

FIGURE 2

INNER
RACE LOCKED
The sprags are formed with the dimensions across one set of
diametrically opposite corners "A", less than the radial gap between
the inner and outer races, and the dimension across the other
corners "B", greater than the radial gap. The spring load pushes the
sprag towards engaging the longer side "B". In Fig. 1 when the
outer race is rotated clockwise (or inner anti-clockwise) frictional
drag between the races and the sprag work against the spring
turning the sprag to its short length "A" and thereby allowing the
races to run free. However, when the outer race is driven anticlockwise (or inner clockwise), frictional drag between races and
the sprag rotates the sprag to a locking position (Fig. 2), where the
sprag length exceeds the radial gap, and torque is transmitted
between the races. For correct operation it is essential that the two
races are concentric and this is normally ensured by their own
bearing assemblies. Sprag clutches provide compact high torque
units suitable for overrunning, indexing and backstop applications.
Generally designs favour the inner race overrunning as the sprags
are retained with the outer race. Overrun speeds are limited by the
frictional wear between sprag and inner races. Sprag clutches are
not as tolerant of overloading as other freewheel designs, as
permanent indentation of the races can occur or in extreme cases
the sprags can be rolled over.
A number of different sprag designs are offered to suit designers
specific needs:The Duo Cam "M" Series Clutches (p5-6) and PB Series (p7) provide
the designer with a freewheel assembly complete with own
bearings, and means of easy connection to other driven equipment.
The "B" Series (p10) and BW assemblies (p9-10) are individual sprag
assemblies for mounting on customers own races. The "B" Series
Clutches are designed specifically for fitting inside gearboxes for
backstop applications. The double cage design of the BW sprag
enables it to be more tolerant of torsional loads.
Clutch type CKK (p8) combines a standard ball race with a sprag
clutch giving relatively high torque capacity in an extremely small
space and eliminating necessity of additional bearings.
Clutch types CR/BW (p20) are designed specifically as a backstop
for direct mounting on conveyor or elevator head shafts, and are
complete with bearings and seals.

The Industrial Ratchet Freewheel (I.R.F.) is the most basic yet most
robust freewheel type. The most common usage of the IRFs is in
combination with a roller chain sprocket. The clutch consists of five
component parts; the inner race or centre (1), the outer race (2),
driving pawls (3), actuating springs (4) and support bearing balls
(5).

There are four basic types of freewheel available; Industrial Ratchet

Freewheels, Sprag Clutches, Roller Ramp Clutches, and Contact
Free Element Sprag Clutches. Various models within these basic
types, such as combination with bearings, addition of flange covers
and flexible couplings provide an extensive range of possibilities for
the designer.

Sprag Clutches consist of plain diameter concentric inner and outer

races with individual spring loaded sprags between. A light spring
ensures that the sprags always maintain contact with the races.
Torque is transmitted by the wedging action of the sprags between
the races.

Overrunning: Where the freewheel disengages automatically

when the driven member rotates faster than the driving member,
used in:
Dual Drives Prevents disconnected engine/motor from being driven.

Conveyor Belts Goods may be moved faster on the belt than the corresponding
drive speed.

Crawler Drives The slow running engine/motor is automatically disengaged from
the fast running engine.

Disengaging of large centrifugal mass from the drive.
The centrifugal mass can run on freely when the drive is stopped.
Backstops: Where the freewheel allows rotation in one direction
only. It overruns continuously during normal operation, but
prevents reverse rotation if the system is disconnected, used in:
Inclined Conveyors and Elevators

Outer Race
Locking Roller

Spring Loaded Plunger

Roller ramp clutches consist of an outer race with cylindrical inside

diameter, an inner race with wedge shaped friction faces (the
"freewheel star") with locking rollers interspaced between the two.
The locking rollers are individually spring loaded to provide
constant contact between the rollers and the races.
OUTER RACE DRIVING

OUTER RACE OVERRUNNING

These clutches are intended for applications involving long periods

of high speed freewheeling, as no wear occurs in this mode.
Internally-disengaging clutches consist basically of cylindrical inner
and outer races, with a complement of specially designed sprag
elements contained in a cage which is connected to the outer race.

Te l

These clutches are basically similar to conventional sprag clutches,

however, in the overrunning mode the sprag elements are thrown
out of contact with the stationary race by centrifugal force.
There are two basic types of clutch; internally disengaging clutches,
where the sprag elements lift-off from the inner race (types CR and
RS/BF); and externally disengaging clutches where the sprag
elements break contact from the outer race and inner race (types
RAZ, RIZ, RBI and RSBI).

INNER RACE

Contact Free

The sprags have a special shape so that when the outer race overruns
centrifugal force acts on the sprags causing them to lift-off from the
stationary inner race, resulting in a gap of 0.2 to 0.6mm depending on
clutch size. As outer race speed decreases the sprag elements return to
contact with the inner race. If the clutch attempts to go into reverse an
immediate lock-up between inner and outer race occurs.
Type CB and RS/BF are designed so that the outer race connects to
the drive shaft, and are solely used for backstop applications with
high speed shaft, such as turbines and pumps.
Externally-disengaging clutches consist basically of a cylindrical
outer race and an inner race fitted with coaxially arranged bolts,
which support unique power transmitting sprag elements in a cage
which is connected to either inner or outer race.

The unique shape of the sprags is such that when the connected
race overruns centrifugal force acts on the sprags causing them to
rotate until halted by contact on the inner race. A gap results
between the inner and outer race and sprags of between 0.2 and
0.6mm depending on the freewheel size. As the overrunning race
speed decreases the sprag elements return to frictional contact
with the races.
If the clutch attempts to go into reverse and immediate lock-up
between inner and outer races occurs.
Clutch type RBI and RSBI (p21) are designed as backstop clutches
specifically for direct fitment on shaft extensions of electric motors
and gearboxes. Types RAZ and RIZ (p21) can be used as backstops or
overrunning clutches, and come complete with a range of flanges
to enable easy assembly of driving gears, pulleys or sprockets.
Both RAZ and RIZ clutches are available with a rubber element
flexible coupling for high speed overrunning applications requiring
shaft to shaft connection.

In Fig. 3 when the outer race is driven clockwise (or the inner
counter-clockwise) the roller is forced up the inclined ramp by
friction, locking the race and roller components to transmit load.
The rollers mover along the inclined plane to a point where the
distance between the races is slightly smaller than the roller
diameter and consequently wedging occurs.
In Fig. 4 when the outer race is driven counter-clockwise (or inner
clockwise), the roller is forced down the inclined ramp permitting
freewheeling of the clutch. Although the races mover the roller into
a free position, the spring-loaded plunger keeps the roller in very
light contact with the races to ensure instantaneous engagement
when the race rotation is reversed.
During the freewheeling mode the rollers are rotated by frictional
drag of the outer race, thus circulating the oil film over plunger and
inner race.
The change from overrunning to torque transmission is virtually
instantaneous, as the rollers are always in contact regardless of the
relative position of the inner and outer races; play or backlash is
only a function of the oil film thickness between the rollers and the
inner and outer races combined with the natural deformation of
material under load.
The rotation of the rollers in freewheeling modes minimises wear
in roller ramp clutches, and they are thus well suited to
applications with long periods of overrunning. When used for
overrunning the outer race should always be the freewheeling
race, as if the inner race freewheels the rollers are subject to
centrifugal loading which increases clutch wear.
Roller ramp clutches provide extremely accurate indexing as
angular deflection between races under load conditions is minimal.
If employed as an indexing clutch, the outer race should always
perform the oscillating movement and the inner race the output
function. If arranged in reverse order, the inertia of the rollers and
springs would lead to inaccurate indexing, especially at high index
rates. The installation of stronger compression springs, available
upon request, will provide higher indexing precision.
A number of roller ramp clutch designs are offered to suit different
applications, with basic units (p11-12); complete package units with
their own integral bearings and a range of end flanges for attaching
other driving equipment (p13-15); units complete with flexible
couplings for shaft to shaft connection (p16); and units having
outers with integral torque arms (p15) for indexing and
backstopping applications.
The roller ramp principle is also used for single revolution clutches
(p18) by caging the rollers and controlling their function through
the cage.

All couplings are fully sealed for grease lubrication.
It is preferred to overrun on clutch shaft, as this permits
removal of driving machinery by disconnection at
flexible coupling, without driven equipment being stopped.
For clutch shaft overrunning select coupling with MG or

Stub Shaft Adaptor

The Morse flanged sub- shaft adaptor is used when it
is impractical to mount a sprocket, gear, sheave or
other mechanical device directly to the mounting
holes of the Morse cam clutch Models 300-1000.
The stub shaft diameter is designed to take full
advantage of the clutch-torque capacity, but may be
turned to smaller diameter to special order, including
metric shaft sizes.

CROSS+MORSE

PB Sprag Clutches feature precision formed

sprags for maximum torque capacities
combined with long life. The clutches have an
outer race designed to simply attach sprockets,
gears or pulleys with a plain bearing to
support high radial loads. They are
pre-lubricated with grease suitable for temp
range -10 to +50C. Oil lubricated clutches can
also be supplied to order (except PB3A).
These clutches are suitable for general purpose
overrunning and indexing applications.

*Before installation a snap-ring ball bearing must be inserted in the
counterbored end complete with a gasket or seal to retain the lubricant.
Snap-ring ball bearing not supplied with clutch.

Always apply pressure on the inner race when installing. It is

important that the clutch fits snug on the shaft and has proper fitting
keys.
HT series clutches are lightly lubricated prior to despatch as an anticorrosive measure, and must be fully lubricated after the snap-ring
ball bearing has been incorporated. Use Type A automatic transmission
fluid. Fill until oil runs out between hub and end cap.

Sprag Clutches
CROSS+MORSE

The double cage sprag elements are complete units capable of high torque
transmission within confined spaces. Their unit construction enables easy
assembly into cylindrical inner and outer races to provide a complete clutch
suitable for most overrunning, backstopping and indexing applications.
The sprags are individually energised by a brass ribbon spring, but their
relative movement to one another is controlled by the double cage design
to ensure load sharing and prevent de-phasing of individual sprags.
Standard sprags are manufactured from 52100 bearing steels. Two basic
designs of sprag are available, disengaging types (Diseng.) where the
sprag lifts-off from the inner race when the outer is rotated at high
speeds, and engaging types (Eng.) where the contact forces between
sprag and inner race increase as the outer race is rotated. The sprag
element is designed to rotate with the outer housing, this being
essential for correct operation of the unit. In applications with rapid
speed changes additional clamping of the element to the housing
is essential and this is achieved by clips/T bars fixed to the outer
cage. To reduce wear of sprags during overrunning drag strips
may be fixed to the inner cage to rotate this relative to the outer
and so reduce sprag contact during overrun.
The table below shows dimensions and construction of standard
sprag elements in heavy print are preferred sizes, normally
available from stock, which should always be used for new
designs unless large production volumes are envisaged.
Sprag elements are best applied where high torque
transmission is required, but space is limited, and where
direct installation into machine parts is required.
The clutches double cage design makes them particularly
suitable where torsional vibrations are present. Ability to
control the operating characteristics has made them suitable
for a wide range of applications including turbine starters,
marine drives, gearbox backstops, winches, printing
machines and machine tools.

and shafts to j6. Race type B transmits torque through heavy

press fit in housing. These races eliminate the need to harden
shafts and housings, and enable servicing of machines by
replacement after normal service wear.

Email

A range of standard inner and outer race for the most popular
sizes of sprags, manufactured from carburised hardened steel
with all faces finish ground. Maximum torque capacity of these
races is controlled by the keys, and not sprag clutch rating.
Housings for races should be manufactured to H7 tolerance

Types CNAS and CNFS

Roller Ramp Clutches

CROSS+MORSE

Types CNAS and CNFS freewheels are light duty

roller ramp clutches manufactured to standard
bearing dimensions; CNAS type as 62 series ball
bearings and CNFS type as NU 23 roller bearings.
The clutches are mainly used for precision
indexing and overrunning
applications. Torque
transmission is via a key
on the shaft, and for type
CNAS a press fit of outer
into housing, and type
CNFS via two keys in the
end face of the outer race.

Keyways:- CNAS 6 without keyway

CNAS 8, 10 & 12, CNFS 8, CNFS 12, CNFS 200 to DIN 6885/1.
Other sizes to DIN 6885/3.

Installation
Our design makes precise axial adjustment of outer and inner
races unnecessary. The two races may be shifted to either side
by dimension S/2, without generating axial tension.
Modified freewheels in which the axial clearance S is reduced
to a minimum are available on request. These freewheels are
identified by the index S, e.g. CNFS 20-S.
Torque transmission from shaft to inner race is via a key, with
recommended shaft tolerance h6 or j6 (except CNAS 6 which
requires n6).

On type CNAS torque transmission from outer is interference

fit obtained with housing bore tolerance H6 or J7. On type
CNFS torque transmission is normally via two keys fitted in the
end face of the outer race, when housing bore tolerance of H7
or F7 is advised; but if keys are not used housing bore must be
to K6 tolerance to transmit torque.

Note:
Types CNAS & CNFS freewheels have no integral bearings. Inner and
outer races must be precisely aligned by external bearings.

AEF). If keys are not used outer race must be press-fit with
housing tolerance K6 (R6 for AEF). Shaft tolerance should be h6 or j6.

Except ANR Series, these freewheels have no integral bearings.

Inner and outer races must be centred and aligned by external bearing
support.

These freewheels are high torque roller ramp

clutches for applications within an encased
lubrication system. Torque is transmitted by
keyway in bore and 2 keyseats on end faces of
outer race (except AA series).
Type AA has drilled outer race to bolt to gears, or
to machine housing if used as backstop when
cover F4 from AGF series can be used to provide
fully sealed unit.
Types AA and AEF incorporate axial clearance
S to avoid need for precise axial positioning of
inner and outer races. This can also
accommodate shaft temperature expansion.
Type ANR incorporates its own bearings to
centre inner and outer races. Size ANR 8-20 have
steel on steel plain bearing, whilst larger units
use two series 160 ball-bearings.

Type AGFN incorporates a keyway in the outer race for torque transmission, enabling simple connection of gears,
sprockets and pulleys.
Clutches, with the outer races having through drilled holes instead of tapped holes, are available to order (types ALF
& ALFN). These clutches use V ring face contact seals for reduced overrun drag torque, and also permits higher
overrun speeds on outer race, and so are particularly suited to high speed indexing and continuous overrun
applications.

+44 121 360 0155

AGF and AGFN freewheels contain their own

bearings, to centre inner and outer races. The outer
race is tapped to enable fitting of a range of standard
end flanges, but can equally be adapted to fit gears,
or other driven equipment to suit special applications.
Combination with standard end flanges or flexible
couplings provides complete unit, with its own
lubrication, enabling easy fitting to drive equipment.

is most popular combination, enabling easy mounting of pulley, sprocket

or gear on outer race. F2 flange enables re-lubrication.

AGF-F2-F7
is designed to enable connection of flexible couplings and universal
joints. Can also be used to locate on m/c frame as backstop. In this
application F4 cover could be used instead of F2 plate-ref. p. 12.

Type AGF Clutch assembled with

Torque Arm End Flange

CROSS+MORSE

The combination of an AGF series roller ramp clutch with F3 and

F2/F4 flanges provide a unit complete with support bearing and its
own integral lubrication system. The units are primarily intended
for backstop applications, but can also be used as reciprocating arm
on indexing applications.

Power Transmission Solutions

Te l
+44 121 360 0155

When used as a backstop, outer race rotation is prevented by cam

bolt, which by its shape compensates for misalignment. The bolt
must be radially free in its location to avoid loading the bearings, so
preferred location is with a slot of width 0.5mm above bolt dia. C.
Higher torque clutches for 25-35mm shafts can be supplied to
special order.

R - inner race overruns clockwise direction.
L - inner race overruns anticlockwise direction.
Clutch keyways all to DIN 6885 Sht. 1.

(4) For applications where clutch is normally overrunning, such as

starter drives, selection is controlled by coupling torque rating TR
which should never be less than max. starting torque. For constant
drive applications selection is dependent on peak torques seen by
coupling and selection is by service factor. All shafts should be
manufactured to h6 or j6 tolerances. Prior to assembly align shafts
accurately to minimise couplings loads. All couplings are intended
for horizontal application. For other requirements consult Clutch
Technical Department.

These clutch couplings consists of AGF/ALF type roller ramp

clutches fitted with F2 end flange for lubricating, combined
with a high speed rubber element coupling. Dependent on
torque requirements two sizes of coupling are available for
most clutches.
These clutch couplings are to connect shafts used with
overrun applications. The rubber flexible element reduces
vibration and compensates for alignment errors up to 0.7
angular
1.0mm axial and 0.5% coupling dia. (D7) parallel.
Only maintenance of oil levels in the clutch (including filling
before use) is required. If required, rubber elements can be
replaced with coupling in situ (except sizes 4SF & 6.3SF).
Two sizes of couplings are available, the smaller ES series being
most popular, with KS series used for higher torque
applications. Two series of clutches are available; AGF (std.
stock to 60mm) with F2 flanges with lip seals limiting speeds,
or ALF series with P2 flanges using V ring face seals for
higher overrun speeds. Selection of clutch coupling should
always be made so the coupling shaft overruns. For high speed
continuous overrun applications, clutches with centrifugal
lift-off sprags should be considered - refer page 21.
All freewheel couplings are typically used on fans, pumps,
starter drives, Sunday drives and dual drive conveyors.

Single Revolution Clutches

CROSS+MORSE

These clutches have rollers contained in a cage which is

connected to the operating cam. The cam is sprung
loaded to push the rollers up the ramp to provide drive,
but if the cam is stopped by a trip pawl it fires the rollers
out of engagement, thereby disengaging the drive.
Clutches can provide a single revolution,
multiple revolutions or a fraction of a revolution from a
constantly rotating input. Extremely accurate positional
control is provided with no accumulative error. Two
types of clutch are offered - the BAT series for maximum
torque capacity, and CTK series for higher speed
applications and replacement on existing machinery.

(1) Torque not to be exceeded.

Note: Torque due to accelerating masses usually determines clutch
selection.
When ordering, please specify direction of rotation seen
from arrow A.
R - Clockwise rotation.
L - Counterclockwise rotation.
The units have no bearings and outer driving race (Item 1) must be
supported to maintain concentricity with shaft within 0.01mm.
Single revolution freewheel clutches are supplied unlubricated.
Lubrication is required prior to operation. We recommend use of
Variotrac 68 oil or CAM 916 grease for positive operation.

Keyways: to DIN 6885/1.

Torque is transmitted from the inner race to the shaft via a feather key.
We recommend shaft tolerance h6 or j6.
For BAT clutches the driving race is centred on D5, and for CTK series
on d3 with locating spigot to h6 tolerance.
For correct operation it is essential that the trip pawl is rigidly located,
and moves in the direction of clutch rotation in disengage motion.
A backstop clutch should always be used with a single revolution clutch
to prevent recoil engagement, and a forward lock clutch may be
required on reciprocating drives.

Industrial Ratchet Freewheels

and Adaptors

CROSS+MORSE

Industrial Ratchet Freewheels provide positive one-way drive with high torque
capacity within a small unit. A ratchet and pawl mechanism is used with
materials and heat treatment selected for a long operating life, with safe,
positive transmission. IRFs are suited to low speed (up to 150 r.p.m.) overrun
applications where shock loads may be encountered, such as Agricultural
machinery. Standard stock units are available in two configurations; as
standard sprocket for 1/2 inch pitch chains, or with a drilled flange to
fit conveyor rollers, pulleys, or wheels. Standard units have threaded
bore to cycle standards, but a range of Adaptors enable fitting to
keyed shafting. IRF clutches are also stocked in part-assembled
condition for reworking to custom design, including finish parallel
bore and keyseat. Many special Industrial Ratchet Freewheels
have been manufactured to meet customers requirements with
torques over 1,000 Nm.

Types CR/BW and CR/BV

Backstop Clutches

CROSS+MORSE

Most types of freewheels can be used for backstop applications,

but these clutches have been specially designed for this
application. Mainly intended for fitting on Conveyor or
Elevator headshafts their design makes easy installation on new
or existing units.

Power Transmission Solutions

Te l
+44 121 360 0155

CR/BW and BV Series incorporate a torque arm with slot to

engage with a bolt fixed to machine frame. Units are greased
for life with labyrinth seals ideal for dust laden environments.
Units can be mounted on horizontal or vertical shafts, and are
available with bore range 20mm to 120mm with torque
capacity to 18,450 Nm.
CR/BW Series uses sprags to provide a high torque capacity, at
low unit cost. Bearing support is plain metal bushes with seals
selected to retain grease and exclude dust and moisture.
CR/BV Series employs roller ramp principle for extended
wear life and faster operating speeds. Sealing is by
shield protected labyrinth seals. Can be used for slow
speed indexing.

Fax

When mounting these units it is essential to ensure no

axial loading occurs, and there is a minimum 0.2mm clearance
around locking pin.

These are basically similar to conventional sprag clutches, but the sprags have their centre of

gravity offset to the pivot point such that in the overrun mode the sprag elements
are thrown
out of contact with the stationary race by centrifugal force These clutches are for applications
involving long periods of high speed freewheeling, when no wear occurs, such as barring
motors, starter drives, pump and motor backstops. Three basic types of unit are available.

+44 121 360 0155

Types RSBI and RBI

Types RSBI and RBI backstop clutches consist of cylindrical inner
and outer races between which are located individually spring
loaded, special shape sprag elements contained in a cage.
The cage is flexibly connected to the inner race to allow the sprags
to engage easily during torque application. When the inner race
rotates at high speed the off-centre weight of the elements causes
them to rotate within the cage to produce a gap with outer race.

These clutches are designed for backstop applications on the high

speed shafts of motors, gearboxes, compressors and pumps.
They can also be used within slow speed barring drive.
Although basically these clutches require no lubrication, their
sprag design does permit the use of E.P. or H.P. additives.
Type RSBI is dimensionally equivalent to many competitor units;
type RBI offers higher torque capacity.

Types RAZ and RIZ

Types RAZ and RIZ freewheel clutches combine an RSBI sprag cage
unit with cylindrical inner and outer races dimensionally
equivalent to same reference AGF roller ramp freewheel
(ref. p13-14). The outer race is supported on two 60 series ZZ sealed
bearings). A range of flanges of same dimensions as AGF series
enables fitting of gears, sprockets or pulleys, and units with
keyseated outer race can also be provided.

Email

Type RAZ clutches have sprag clutch cage connected to outer race
to enable high speed overrunning of the outer race. This series
mainly used for overrun applications such as starter drives and
barring motors. Type RIZ clutches have sprag clutch cage flexibly
connected to the inner race to enable high speed operation of the
inner race. Whilst also suitable for overrun applications, more often
this series is used as backstop.

[email protected]

Both RAZ and RIZ clutches are available with elastomeric coupling
as used with AGF series (refer p13), with RIZ being preferable as
these allow whole unit to be stationary during overrun.

Types CR and RS/BF

Both types CR and RS/BF can only be used as backstops, and are
normally mounted on rear of electric motor, or on shaft extension
of gearbox. Special shaped sprags are mounted in a cage
connected to the outer race, which is of top hat shape to enable
connection to rotating shaft. The inner race is flanged to enable
connection to machine frame. The two series were originally
produced by two different companies, and both have remained in
production as they are dimensionally different. The units were the
only selection for contact-free backstops, but now the RSBI and
RBI series are preferred for new applications.
The CR series units offer the highest torque capacity with 300mm
bore units capable of 75,000 Nm torque. Special clutches have
been supplied with torques in excess of 150,000 Nm.
Both series have covers available to provide a fully sealed unit.
