Information on One Way Clutch Bearings and Roller Ramp Clutches

One Way Clutch:

The One Way Clutch is also known as Freewheel Clutch. They also reduce the cost. This clutch is used in automotive as well as in mechanical engineering and devices. The One Way Clutch gives the fastest rotation to the shaft. This clutch allows transmitting and idling in one direction and opposite direction. For conventional solution this clutch is very preferred because this clutch has the advantages of safety during operations and for better automatization. While rotation, there is no contact between outer and inner rings.

Applications of One Way Clutch:

• For economic solutions

• In Agriculture machines – feed cutters, fertilizer spreaders

• In Generator Construction – barrel mills, cement mixtures, drilling rigs

• In Paper Printing

• In power plant

• Wire processing

• Fishing net machinery

• Hoisting and conveying devices

One Way Clutch Bearing:

The roller clutches with a small radial section is known as One Way Clutch Bearing. It is also known as anti-reverse bearings. The design of this bearing is better that the available space is used perfectly. The design of this one way clutch bearing allows to transmit the torque between housing and shaft in one direction as well as in the opposite direction the free motion is allowed. This clutch and bearings are used in the temperature with the range of -30°C to 120°C. Oil lubrication is required for the temperature of above 70°C. The One Way Clutch Bearings are available with clutch and bearing or without bearings also.

Applications of One Way Clutch Bearing:

• In Appliances

• Rack indexing drives

• Paper moving for copiers, fax machines, paper towel dispensers, etc.

• Two speed gearbox

• RC engines, RC cars and RC helis as well as fishing reels

• Transcendental clutches

• Converters

Roller Ramp Clutches:

This Roller Ramp Clutches are used inside housings. This clutches are required outside bearings because they are not self supporting. A roller ramp clutch is just like roller bearings. There are two concentric cylinders, one inside other. There are metal rollers between both of them. Roller ramp clutches are available in three sizes and allowing additional tuning. This clutch is supporting the operation of outer and inner rings. There are main four components in Roller Ramp Clutches.

• The concentric and encircling slide of the outer ring

• The star-like shaped pattern of the inner ring

• The clamping rollers

• Detach spring loading for all roller, based on the inner ring
