Cam Clutch
Reliable unidirectional clutch solutions with sprag clutches and cam clutches, designed for maximum holdback efficiency… Backstopping function prevents reverse rotation when input drive is discontinued or power supply failure to input drive. The freewheel clutch continues overrunning / freewheeling when the equipment is in operation or working mode and it engages if reverse rotation occurs unexpectedly. Backstop/Holdback is used to prevent the shaft from rotating in the opposite direction. This function simply achieved by anchoring one race of the clutch so that the other race is free to rotate in one (required) direction but is immediately locked in reverse direction. Normally, outer race or outer race flange or torque arm of the clutch is fixed to the stationary part — equipment frame and inner race fitted on to the drive shaft- rotating freely.
