CR-Series Roller Clutches

CR-Series Tiny-Clutches are captured roller and cam assemblies that work the same as our D-Series, but which are installed in your housing. The clutch has near zero backlash & allows high overrunning speeds, making them ideal for machines requiring overrunning, backstopping, freewheeling or one-way clutches, such as inclined conveyors, tape and film drives, riveters, stampers etc. CR-Series clutches are a proven cam and roller principle that provides long trouble free life. The outer housing and cam drive each other through wedging action between the rollers and the housing. The rollers are maintained in contact with the housing by individual springs & side plates capture the rollers in position relative to the cam. Power may be applied to the clutch through either the housing or the shaft. Clutches may be mounted for either R.H. or L.H. drive & the cam is screwed or keyed to the shaft. MATERIALS - Cam is hardened & ground Steel; Rollers are hardened & ground ball bearing type steel. All stainless clutches are also available.
