Cam Clutches Tsubaki - MZ series

An interesting product of a wide range of Tsubaki products are cam clutches of the MZ series. Cam clutches are precision devices which lock the inner and outer races, through the wedging action of cams, to transmit torque in one direction of rotation; and overrun in the opposite direction. These units are often referred to as freewhleels, sprags, overrunning, backstop or one-way clutches, depending upon their application.

The multi-purpose MZ series cam clutches are suitable for use at both low and high speed.

These cam clutches decrease the overheat during the torque and require a very low maintenance.
