Roller clutch HF series

springindexing

Drawn-cup roller clutches are one-way clutches comprising thin-walled, non-cut outer rings with ramps on the inside diameter, plastic cages, pressure springs and needle rollers. They can transmit torques in one direction and are radially compact. The roller clutches are available with and without bearing supports. Drawn-cup roller clutches give very precise indexing, since the individual spring loading of the needle rollers ensures continuous contact between the shaft, needle rollers and ramps. They allow high indexing frequencies due to their low mass and the resulting low moment of inertia of the clamping elements. They also have a low overrunning frictional torque. Drawn-cup roller clutches can be used in various applications such as indexing clutches, back-stopping clutches and overrunning clutches. In these cases, the drawn cup roller clutch performs an overrunning or locking function.
