Cam Clutch Manufacturer

PSMFG, a Cam Clutch manufacturer established in China brings to you a catalogue full of cam clutches. At great prices, we promise great designs and materials that guarantee accurate and long-standing applications across industries.

Introducing Cam Clutches

Cam clutches are mechanical overrunning clutches that are often called backstop or one-way clutches. The names of cam clutches depend on the context. It primarily functions to transmit torque in one particular direction while letting the output axis to go on turning or freewheeling when the motor completely stops or just slows. That makes cam clutches suitable for small and large designs for packaging, conveying, off-highway material handling, turbine auxiliary drive and medical applications. Our mechanical overrunning clutches include bearings that use roller ramps, ratcheting, cam action and wrap spring for engagement of one-way axis. Our cam clutches, like all quality ones exhibit a very high torque density.

Technical Details

Of the known clutch designs, the cam clutch is relatively new and packed with power. Used famously in the transportation industry, a cam clutch is often called sprag clutch. In this clutch, a series of bars are set profiled with the cam-shaped, asymmetrical geometry ring which forms the clutch circumference. At each end, there are cages whose job is to ensure that the cams are spaced out evenly. When input rotation starts, the cams lock between the outer and inner races in the clutch halves starts working as rising wedges.

In some cam-clutch models, the cams fill the space in between the inner and outer races functioning as sprags to hold together the clutch halves by preventing any kind of friction. As the drive is reversed, the clutch quickly releases while enduring high overrun speeds. In some other models, centrifugal force causes the bar cams to change into liftoffs thereby disengaging the halves of the clutch. When the belt is slowed or reversed, the springs at the cam push it back into engagements that resemble sprags.

Features

A cam clutch has many great features. Here are the top few ones that rank them top of the line.

• Cam clutches are quite rugged.
• They allow high torque transmission
• They allow high torque transmission
• As the race on the inner side turns clockwise, the cam backstops.
• As the race on the inner side turns clockwise, the cam backstops.
• As the race rotates clockwise at a high speed, the clutches pivot such that their geometry clears out the races.
• The geometry of the load-bearing cams of cam clutches pack tightly into the body of the clutch.
