Description
Sprag Clutches
A Sprag Clutch is a freewheel device having an inner race, and an outer race either of which can be the input or output member.
DM series direct mounting sprag clutches are specifically designed for use as backstops in applications where compact dimensions are required.
The clutch is designed to fit in a housing with the shaft as the inner race. This type is particularly suitable for use in gear units and similar equipment where good concentricity between shaft and housing is ensured.
Features
- High torque capacity yet compact direct mounting design
- Suitable for backstopping applications
- DM clutches drive directly onto the shaft, without an inner race, resulting in compact design.
- The clutch is suitable for use in gear units where the oil provides lubrication
Applications
- Conveyor Drives
- Foundry equipment drives
- Steel works
- Textile machinery
- Packaging machinery
- Water treatment
