Compact sprag freewheel (TSS)
The TSS series comprises sprag-based freewheel clutches without their own bearings, which are designed for an interference fit in the outer ring housing. Their dimensions correspond to those of the 62 series ball bearings.
MOVET TSS Compact Cam Clutch for Precision, High Performance and Space-Saving Design
The TSS series cam clutches are high-quality, sprag-based one-way clutches specifically engineered for compact, high-precision drive applications. Designed as a non-bearing type cam clutch, the TSS series is intended for a press fit in the outer ring housing. This design enables reliable torque transmission in one direction while allowing free rotation in the opposite direction – essential for many industrial drive systems. A key advantage of the TSS compact cam clutch is that its external dimensions match those of Series 62 ball bearings, making it ideal for integration into existing installations originally designed for ball bearings, without the need for costly housing modifications.
Compact Design Without Integrated Bearings
The non-bearing construction of the TSS cam clutch means that shaft support is provided by separate bearings in the housing. This offers design flexibility and allows engineers to select the most suitable bearing type for their application, independent of the clutch. The compact form factor is particularly advantageous for applications where space is limited but high performance is essential.
Press Fit Outer Ring for Secure Installation
The outer ring of the TSS series is engineered for a precise press fit into the housing. Vertical keyways on the outer ring provide positive mechanical engagement, ensuring secure torque transmission under varying load conditions. This press-fit design delivers stability, minimises vibration, and ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Wide Torque Range for Versatile Applications
MOVET TSS cam clutches are available in torque capacities from 1–150 Nm for standard industrial applications, and from 301–700 Nm for heavy-duty, high-load systems. This range allows them to be used in both high-speed light-duty drives and low-speed, high-torque machinery.
Dimensions Compatible with Series 62 Ball Bearings
Matching the dimensions of Series 62 ball bearings allows the TSS cam clutch to be easily installed as a direct replacement in existing housings. This feature significantly simplifies retrofitting, machine upgrades and maintenance work, reducing downtime and installation costs.
Typical Applications in Machinery and Conveyor Systems
The MOVET TSS series is widely used in many industrial sectors, including:
-
Conveyor systems – as a backstop to prevent reverse rotation
-
Packaging machinery – as an overrunning clutch for indexing operations
-
Automation systems – for one-way torque transmission in positioning drives
-
Special-purpose machinery – where compact design and high torque capacity are required
-
General machine building – for drive protection against backdriving
