Help with cam clutch selection

The Tsubaki product catalogue is designed to meet the demands of a wide range of applications which are categorised by three main modes of operation: general overrunning, indexing and backstopping. In each case the design of the cam clutch is specifically engineered to provide the required function and accommodate the maximum load of the application.

The guide shows examples of different applications and describes in detail how the demands of each are met and suggestions for the most suitable product for each application. From this point the catalogue provides a full technical specification of each product in the range to ensure that the correct model and size is selected for a particular application.

There are also details of some design features such as the BR-HT cam clutch, which uses a unique cross section that provides positive mechanical engagement only when needed, otherwise it rotates freely, with no mechanical contact in the clutch mechanism which results in an improved service life compared to conventional designs.
