・Increased Torque Capacity : Capable of transmitting larger torque than shell type roller clutches by arranging the number of cams between the inner and outer races. ・All models are always in stock. : Depending on the operating conditions the BB Series is also available with an oil seal....
Overrunning clutches with a shift means to return the roller cage to its starting position are known. Swiss Pat. No. 318,951 describes such an arrangement wherein the shift means is a circular spring attached on the circumference of the outer race or sleeve which acts only to return the cag...
a bit drive adaptor120and thrust bearings125. The one-way clutch115is a well-known mechanical device that includes components that permit transfer of rotational torque in one rotary direction while allowing free rotation in the opposite direction. Exemplary one-way clutches are disclosed in U.S. ...
needed to a driven shaft. One successful use of an overrunning clutch in an all terrain vehicle is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,036,939. In that patent, the vehicle incorporates overrunning clutches directly into the wheel hubs, thus allowing each wheel to independently disengage when ...
The use of a simple roller-type overrunning clutch, well-known in the art, would help eliminate the belt squeal. However, roller-type clutches have springs which hold each roller member which engages the two races. At the high speeds experienced by an alternator (upwards of 18,000 revolutions...
Due to the cost and complexity associated with such actively-controlled on-demand clutch control systems, recent efforts have been directed to the use of overrunning clutches that can be controlled to provide various operating modes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,993,592 illustrates a pawl-typ...
This invention relates to clutches, and more particularly to a pawl-type clutch having control mechanism for multiple modes of operation. Pawl-type clutches generally have driving and driven members mounted adjacent each other with notches therein which receive pawls extending between the notches to ...
Conventional complex differentials and overrunning clutches are generally costly to manufacture and, thus, relegated to more expensive vehicles, such as cars and four wheel drive vehicles. A need exists for a less complex and less expensive bi-directional overrunning clutch that can be used in variou...
a drag force is created that rotates the reversing ring. This angular movement of the reversing ring is translated to linear movement for the decouplers. As the decouplers are repositioned, both one-way clutches are reoriented to function in the `forward` mode. When the differential case begin...
Controllable or selectable one-way clutches (i.e., OWCs) are a departure from traditional one-way clutch designs. Selectable OWCs often add a second set of struts or locking members in combination with a slide plate. The additional set of locking members plus the slide plate adds multiple ...
