OVERRUNNING: DUAL DRIVE AND TWO SPEED DRIVE

Medium and Low-Speed Overrunning and Medium and Low-Speed Engagement: (Overrunning speed = 700 RPM and up) (Engaging speed = up to 700 RPM)

In this application, one driven unit is driven at two speeds by a medium and a low-speed drive unit, both at speeds lower than 700 r/min. Two Cam Clutches enable automatic switching between the drive units.

Figure 28 shows an example of Cam Clutches being used with the pasting rolls of a corrugating machine for making cardboard. The pasting rolls are driven continuously by the main motor. During this time, Cam Clutch A engages and Cam Clutch B overruns. When the main motor must be stopped temporarily to fix a problem, it is necessary to keep rotating the pasting rolls in order to prevent paste on the roll surface from drying. To do this, the rolls are driven by an auxiliary motor at a low speed sufficient to prevent the paste from drying (Cam Clutch A overruns, while B engages). This system is also used with meat choppers and screw feeds in food processing machinery.
