CAM CLUTCH BASICS Tsubaki Cam Clutch products are designed to transmit torque in one direction of rotation, and overrun (freewheel) in the opposite direction of rotation. All Tsubaki Cam Clutch products utilize the same principles of operation. Tsubaki offers various series of products to address the many types of applications where Cam Clutch products are most often used. The three most common types of applications are listed below.
1. Backstopping In backstop applications, the clutches are used to prevent reverse rotation of drive shafts, which may cause damage to machinery and other expensive equipment. With the outer race of the clutch anchored stationary, the inner race can overrun freely in one direction of rotation. Reverse rotation is instantaneously prevented by the automatic engagement of the clutch. Typical backstop applications are in conveyor systems and gear reducers. Please reference Figure 1 for an example of a typical backstopping application.
