Sprag Type Freewheel Clutches

Based on its many years of experience in the development and production of high-quality machine

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

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.

ENGINEERING

How is the torque of GMN sprag type freewheel clutches determined? What needs to be kept in mind during installation? Find out more.

Torque

GMN sprag type freewheel clutches enable extraordinarily high force transfer due to their high sprag density.

Speed limits

Various different influencing factors must be taken into account when calculating the maximum possible speeds.

Installation

GMN freewheel clutches can be installed quickly and easily following the installation instructions provided.

Lubrication

GMN sprag type freewheel clutches are suitable for different grease and oil lubrication systems.

Tolerance tables

Compliance with the tolerance thresholds for shaft and housing diameters ensures the maximum performance values of our freewheel clutches.

Service life time calculations

The expected service life of GMN freewheel clutches can be determined based on application-dependent influencing factors.

COMPONENTS

The sprags in GMN freewheel clutches are distinguished by their compact size and high form accuracy.

Sprags

The sprags in GMN freewheel clutches are distinguished by their compact size and high form accuracy.

Sprag cage

GMN sprag cages enable a high density of sprags and therefore a high torque transfer.

Springs

GMN freewheel clutches are available with two different spring systems depending on the operating mode.

Rings

Rings for GMN freewheel clutches are hardened and ground, designed and optimized for combination with GMN freewheel clutch insert elements.
