Product Info  Clutches

Clutches transmit or cut rotation between two power transmission shafts.

The line-up includes Cam Clutches (one-way clutches) and SR Clutches (single-revolution clutches). Cam Clutches are mechanical non-backlash structures with a number of cams arranged between the inner and outer races and are available for three different applications: backstop, overrun and indexing.

With a simple lever operation, SR Clutch can give a single or an integer revolution at the correct timing from the continuously rotating outer race (drive side) to the inner race (load side).

Cam Clutch (One-Way Clutch)

When it comes to mechanical One-Way Clutches, Tsubaki Cam Clutch is the best

This is a mechanical one-way clutch. It uses multiple cams arranged so that there is no backlash.
Cam clutches have three applications: backstop, overrun, and indexing.

SR clutch (single revolution clutch)

SR Clutches provide a single or integer revolution from the continually rotating outer race (drive side) to the inner race (load side) by simply pulling a lever.

Because the inner and outer races are designed to engage, the clutch transmits highly reliable and accurately timed drive motions not possible with clutches based on friction mechanisms, ratchet mechanisms, or pin and key mechanisms.
