Overrunning clutch mounted (MZEU)

The MZEU modular series comprises pre-greased sprag type freewheel clutches that have been specially developed for the European market. They are available as the basic MZEU model, with a keyway on the outer ring (MZEU-K) or with an attached chain coupling (MZEU-C). The MZEU series also offers a selection of modular flanges designed for various freewheel applications.

Overrunning Clutches WITH Bearing (MZEU): Modular Freewheels for Demanding Drive Applications

The MZEU series of overrunning clutches by MOVET features pre-lubricated, bearing-supported roller ramp freewheels engineered specifically for industrial drive systems. These components are ideal for applications requiring smooth torque transmission, integrated shaft guidance, and modular design. Available in multiple configurations, including MZEU, MZEU-K (with keyway) and MZEU-C (with chain coupling), the MZEU clutches offer versatility, durability and ease of installation.

Bearing-Supported Design for Maximum Stability

A key feature of the MZEU series is its integrated bearing, which ensures optimal shaft alignment and mechanical stability. This eliminates the need for external bearing units and reduces design complexity. Combined with a pre-greased interior and wear-resistant construction, MZEU clutches are ready for long-term industrial operation with minimal maintenance.

Optional Centrifugal Lift-Off: For High-Speed Applications

MOVET MZEU overrunning clutches are available with or without centrifugal lift-off. This optional feature automatically disengages the clutch mechanism at a certain speed, minimizing wear during idle or freewheeling operation.

  • Centrifugal Lift-Off: Yes / No

  • Bearing-Supported: Yes

This makes the MZEU series suitable for a broad range of applications, including conveyor backstops, emergency drives, and rotational speed decoupling in multi-motor systems.

Wide Torque Range – For Light to Heavy-Duty Systems

MZEU overrunning clutches are available in multiple torque classes to support everything from lightweight auxiliary systems to high-capacity drive lines:

  • 1–150 Nm

  • 151–300 Nm

  • 301–700 Nm

  • 701–3000 Nm

  • 3001–5000 Nm

  • Above 5000 Nm

This flexibility enables tailored selection and optimized sizing to match your torque demands without overspecification.

Applications Across Industries

MZEU freewheels are widely used in:

  • Conveyor systems with reverse motion protection

  • Gearboxes with auxiliary or emergency power input

  • Drive systems with backstop or overrunning functionality

  • Packaging and process automation

  • Rotational applications with frequent start/stop operation

The bearing-supported, compact design and modular features make the MZEU series a dependable choice for machine builders, OEMs, and technical buyers.
