Sprag Type Freewheel Clutches

Based on its many years of experience in the development and production of high-quality machine components, GMN has chosen to specialize in the production of efficient, long-life sprag type freewheel clutches.

We emphasize on maximum precision in the development and production of GMN sprag type freewheel clutches. This ensures their certification to international standards and produces consistent, outstanding quality characteristics with respect to torque handling, indexing reliability and long service life.

The standardized model series offer a large selection of feature options to furnish effective freewheel clutch solutions for almost any field of application.

 

Benefits for our customers:

  • Maximum torque handling in the smallest space
  • Extremely high indexing frequencies
  • High indexing accuracy and reliability
  • Minimum indexing delay due to small twisting angle
  • Minimum mass moment of inertia
  • Extremely small size
  • Homogeneous load distribution independent of the positional angle of individual sprags

Function

The functional principle of sprag type freewheel clutches is based on static friction. A certain number of sprags are in constant friction contact with the connecting parts. Sprags are components with variable height. They are uprighted when the connecting parts are rotated and clamped between the connecting parts while there is static friction between sprags and connecting parts. The static friction is guaranteed by a specific geometry (clamping angle) of the sprags to the connecting parts.

Applications

GMN sprag type freewheel clutches can be used as indexing clutches, backstops or as overrunning clutches.

GMN sprag type freewheel clutches in use

Our compact freewheel clutch solutions are not only extremely powerful, but also highly robust. These properties are particularly useful where the material is regularly subjected to high levels of stress. Take the motor shaft of a helicopter, shown here as an example.
