Selection Guide  Cam Clutch

one-way clutch  -Cam Clutch -

This is a mechanical one-way clutch. It uses multiple cams arranged so that there is no backlash.

  • ・Machined with an advanced specially-designed machine for the highest level of accuracy.
  • ・Our unique heat treating process gives these cams excellent durability.
  • ・Secure actuation and high reliability

Single Revolution clutch  -SR Clutch -

The SR Clutch is lever-operated to impart one turn or an integral number of turns from the outer race (drive) to the inner race (load).

  • ・Excellent responsiveness
  • ・Secure engagement
  • ・Consistent stopping position
  • ・Exceptional durability

Cam clutches engage and overrun due to the rotation speed and direction difference between the inner and outer rings.

Cam clutches continuously and alternately engage and overrun through reciprocating motion at a constant angle to the outer race for intermittent feeding.

Used to prevent the reverse rotation of rotating shafts. Cam clutches continue overrunning during forward rotation of the shaft, and when rotation is about to reverse, they engage to prevent this.
