Cam Clutches for General Overrunning Applications

Tsubaki Europe has launched a new catalogue that contains its full range of cam clutches for general overrunning, indexing and backstopping applications. The catalogue also covers mechanical overload protection components, chain couplings and a cam clutch selection chart. The catalogue is available from Tsubaki as either a hardcopy or to download from the Tsubaki website.

The cam clutch catalogue had been developed to provide readers with as much information and data about Tsubaki's cam clutch product range as possible, including technical specification. The range of products is suitable for a number of applications, including contamination-free processes, high-temperature environments, wet and corrosive or dusty conditions. The cam-clutches' outer- and inner races are made of alloy steel with high surface hardness and core toughness.

The races are precision ground, providing concentricity and surface finish to obtain accurate cam rotation, while cams are produced from high alloy steel with hardness up to 2,500HV. To help customers differentiate between the different products that are available and choose the correct one for their application, Tsubaki has included a selection chart.

The basic modes of operation are explained - overrunning, indexing and backstopping - and a simple chart displays each product's suitability to specific tasks of each function. To support the catalogue, Tsubaki has also developed a 'cam clutch equivalents' programme that is available on a CD-ROM. This new piece of software is designed to help customers select an appropriate Tsubaki cam clutch from another manufacturer's reference, further simplifying product selection.
