Application Examples
Layout
A sprocket (transmission part) is attached to the cam clutch and is attached to each roller shaft.
It is often used for roller tables used to transport plate glass, plasterboard, etc.
Purpose of use and operation explanation
During normal operation
A sprocket is attached to the Cam Clutch and assembled to each roller. The rollers are rotated by the engagement of the Cam Clutch.
((Right image: Green arrow)) Meshing is the state in which outer race, cam, and inner race work together to transmit power from the driver to the driven unit. In this example, rotation is transmitted from the outer outer race to the inner inner race through the meshing of the cam clutch.
During a power outage
The items are pushed by hand to be transported. At this time, the cam clutch is in an idling state, preventing slippage between the rollers and the items being transported, and allowing the items to be transported lightly without being damaged.
((Right image: Red arrow)) Idling means that even when outer race is stopped, only inner race can rotate in the direction of the red arrow.
Advantages of using a Cam Clutch
- - The overrunning function enables heavy loads to be transported without damage.
