「Shaft length > Inner race width 」…Please prepare the set collar for adjustment and fix it with the end plate.

「Shaft length < Inner race width 」…Fix with a stepped end plate.
However, it is necessary to pay attention to the key surface pressure, so please check in advance.

The definition of shaft length varies depending on the series, so please consult us.

Cam Clutch engages immediately without backlash when torque is applied in the engaging direction.

When torque is applied to Cam Clutch, elastic deformation occurs in each of cams, inner race and outer race, resulting in a rotational angle difference between inner and outer races.

This rotational angle difference is called windup.

Windup increases proportionally to load torque and returns to zero when load on Cam Clutch is removed.

Bearings that maintain concentricity of inner and outer races will wear out and generate heat, shortening their service life.

There are also series without bearings, which can lead to internal damage.

Therefore, if a thrust load is applied to Cam Clutch, please prepare something that can receive the thrust load separately.

Cam Clutch cannot be used on vertical shafts because grease and oil will be biased to the ground side, resulting in poor lubrication.

Please contact us when using by installing on vertical or inclined shafts.

Maintain the grease quantity specified in the instruction manual.

Insufficient lubrication will result in poor lubrication conditions and early life, while too much can inhibit cam movement and prevent engagement.

Drain out the old grease inside with white kerosene, etc., and then fill in new grease.

Undercoat lacquer primer (red rust) is applied to prevent rust on castings and welded products.

Apply a finish painting according to the usage environment.

Slip does not occur even when filling up the tank.

However, depending on the usage conditions, it may cause heat generation and oil leakage.

It should be the same as the maximum overrunning rotational speed of outer race.

If the rotational speed is higher than this, the grease in the contact area between inner race and cams will runout, causing problems such as abnormal heat generation and abnormal wear during overrunning.

Concentricity of Cam Clutch is lost and an unbalanced load is applied, causing the cams to rotate while being pressed down by the inner and outer races, which may lead to heat generation and abnormal wear of the clutch, resulting in premature service life.

Avoid using on mounting shafts that are outside the catalogue recommended tolerances.
