Tsubaki provides 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.

Tsubaki's 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 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 when compared with conventional designs.

An extensive cam clutch range incorporates three main operation modes, overrunning, indexing and backstopping, with each function being divided into various categories based on the required performance. In the unlikely event of the existing range not fulfilling the exact requirements of an application, Tsubaki also offers a custom design service, which can tailor a bespoke design for the customer.

This catalogue provides detailed information on the selection process and precise dimensions as well as the installation process to allow customers to find the series of cam clutch suited for their particular application. The guide also provides maintenance information and instructions on lubrication to ensure a prolonged service life, even in difficult working conditions.
