Nmt group offers one-way clutches. It transmits power in one direction of rotation and other direction of rotation becomes free. No driving contact between inner and outer ring in one direction of rotation and there is driving contact between inner and outer ring in the other direction of rotation, which transmits torque. Three types of freewheels are available, sprag [standard, indexing and centrifugal lift off], roller, and cam-roller combined. The bore diameter ranges from 12 to 150 mm. Indexing/feeding is there to convert motion either from a continuously rotating shaft on intermittent basis or vice versa. The inner ring can rotate faster than the outer ring in the same direction of rotation of input and if input is stopped, inner ring continues to rotate at input speed and vice versa. The purpose of backstopping is to provide a return or reverse lock. Safe and automatic operation is assured. Applications are in all industries like general drives, hoisting and conveying devices/inclined conveyors, leather, packaging, paper and printing, rubber and plastic, textile, wire processing, fishing net machinery and many more equipment.
