Technical Data Clutches Handling
BR Series (Open type ) Handling Precautions
Open type
- 1. If you are installing the outer race first, check the precision of the fit. The tolerances for outer race mounting are shown in the tables at right. Out of spec installation could damage the Cam Clutch.
- 2. When using oil lubrication, the oil level should be up to the outer periphery on the ground side of the inner race (see installation example). Avoid over lubrication, as it will cause the Cam Clutch to generate excessive heat.
- 3. When used for reducer, etc., the gear oil must be designed not to enter the cam clutch section. In particular, note that gear oil containing extreme pressure additives will significantly shorten the life of the cam clutch if it gets into.
BR Series (Package Type ) Handling Precautions
Package Type
- 1. Torque arms, couplings, etc. to be mounted to the outer race should be securely attached with bolts of strength category 10.9 or higher.
- 2. Set a 2mm clearance between the torque arm and the torque arm stopper. If the torque arm is rigidly mounted, it will be applying a load to the Cam Clutch which can eventually damage it.
- 3. Install an appropriate coupling if there is a chance that the shaft will elongate from thermal expansion as encountered in some exhaust fan auxiliary drive system applications.
- 4. External thrust load should be supported by other devices, not by the Cam Clutch.
- 5. Grease is pre-filled at the time of shipment.
