Tsubaki Cam Clutches
BACKSTOP...
Tsubaki Cam Clutch products are designed to transmit torque in one direction of rotation and overrun in the opposite direction of rotation. All Tsubaki Cam Clutch products utilize the same priciples of operation.
We offer verious series of Cam Clutch products to address the many types of applications where they are most often used. Below you will find all of our Backstop Cam Clutch product offerings.
In backstopping applications, clutches are used to prevent reverse rotation of drive shafts which may cause damage to machinery and expensive equipment. The inner race can overrun freely in one direction of rotation. Reverse rotation is instantaneously prevented by the automatic engagement of the clutch. Typical backstop applications are in conveyor systems and gear reducers. Tsubaki has pioneered the non-rollover design.
