CAM CLUTCH BASICS 3. Overrunning Clutches used in this type of application overrun at either the inner or outer race during the majority of the clutch operating time, and are occasionally called upon to lock up and drive. A typical application is a two-speed drive, where an electric motor and a geared motor are connected to a single driven shaft through one-way clutches. The machine can be driven by either the electric motor or geared motor. When the geared motor drives at low speed, the clutch engages. When the faster turning electric motor drives the machine, the clutch overruns. The clutch automatically switches between low speed and high speed. Please reference Figure 3 for an example of a typical overrunning application.
