Reliable Overrunning Clutches for Demanding Applications
Overrunning clutches enable automatic torque separation between drives and ensure smooth synchronisation. They are used in conveyor systems, gearboxes and machinery where flexible power transmission is essential. With a wide torque range and multiple configuration options, the high-performance overrunning clutches from MOVET are the ideal solution for engineers, machine builders and technical buyers who value reliability, precision and longevity.
Two Proven Types: MDEU and MZEU
The core function of MOVET overrunning clutches lies in their ability to automatically disengage torque transfer when the driven component exceeds the speed of the driving side. This built-in safety mechanism prevents mechanical damage due to reverse torque or overspeed, and ensures smooth and controlled power transmission throughout the system. In conveyor systems with intermittent or reversing operation, MOVET clutches maintain stable performance and enhance operational efficiency.
Two Proven Types: MDEU and MZEU
MOVET overrunning clutches are available in two proven and field-tested variants: MDEU: A compact, robust clutch for general industrial applications. Ideal for systems with frequent load changes and continuous operation. MZEU: A heavy-duty variant designed for high-torque applications and harsh conditions. Available with centrifugal lift-off and optional integrated bearing. Both variants stand out for their precise function, durable construction and ease of installation into new or existing setups.
Bearing Options for Maximum Shaft Stability
MOVET overrunning clutches are available with or without integrated bearings. The bearing-supported versions provide additional shaft stability and are ideal for applications with high speeds or significant radial forces. Non-bearing variants offer compact dimensions and are suitable when external bearing arrangements are already in place. This modularity enables precise engineering adaptation without compromising performance or service life.
Engineered for Industrial Performance
MOVET bietet seine Überholkupplungen in zwei robusten Ausführungen an:
-
MDEU: Die klassische Variante für allgemeine Industrieanwendungen mit präziser Funktionsweise und kompakter Bauform. Ideal für Anwendungen mit häufigem Lastwechsel und Dauerbetrieb.
-
MZEU: Die hochwertige Ausführung mit verstärktem Aufbau, geeignet für hohe Drehmomente und raue Einsatzbedingungen. Auch in fliehkraftabhebender Ausführung erhältlich, optional mit integriertem Lager.
Beide Varianten bieten höchste Qualität, kompakte Bauweise und montagefreundliche Integration in bestehende oder neue Systeme.
Simple Integration and Retrofit Capability
Thanks to standardised dimensions, clear mounting interfaces and a wide variety of options, MOVET overrunning clutches are quick and easy to integrate. Whether in original designs or as a retrofit component, installation is straightforward and requires minimal modifications.
Our engineering team is also available to support you in selecting the ideal clutch or adapting a solution to your specific technical parameters.
MOVET: Reliable Components for Motion and Power Transmission
MOVET stands for high-quality, technically advanced components for the mechanical and plant engineering industries. Our overrunning clutches combine performance, safety and durability – precisely engineered for professionals who demand more from their power transmission systems.
Whether for compact drive trains or high-torque industrial installations, MOVET overrunning clutches deliver reliability, efficiency and flexibility – engineered to keep your systems running.
How Overrunning Clutches Work
The primary function of an overrunning clutch is to allow motion in one direction while automatically disengaging in the opposite direction or when overspeed occurs. This makes them ideal for applications with variable speeds, intermittent drive functions, or multiple drive sources. MOVET clutches operate reliably without requiring external control – making them a smart, maintenance-friendly solution for automation and mechanical systems. Whether installed in conveyor technology, gearboxes, or rotating machinery, MOVET overrunning clutches ensure smooth engagement and disengagement with consistent performance over time.
