Over the last 50 years, Tsubaki engineers have spent thousands of man hours designing and improving uni-directional/ mechanical clutches in an effort to improve reliability and performance. Evolution of the uni-directional clutch started with simple prop and ratchet type designs, and has progressed to the roller ramp and non-contact sensing cam type commonly used today. Innovative designs and features incorporated into our cam clutch products assure efficient and dependable operation in the harshest environments. Tsubaki Cam Clutch Solutions

Tsubaki Cam Clutch Products are designed to transmit torque in one direction of rotation and overrun (freewheel) in the opposite direction of rotation. All Tsubaki cam clutch products utilize the same principles of operation. Tsubaki offers various series of products to address the many types of applications where cam clutch products are most often used. The three most common types of applications are listed below:
Backstopping
Clutches are used to prevent reverse rotation of drive shafts which may cause damage to machinery and expensive equipment. The inner race can overrun freely in one direction of rotation. Reverse rotation is instantaneously prevented by the automatic engagement of the clutch. Typical backstop applications are in conveyor systems and gear reducers. Tsubaki has pioneered the non-rollover design.
Overrunning
These clutches spin freely the majority of the time, occasionally being called upon to lock up and drive. Typical is a two-speed drive, where the machine is driven by either an electric motor or geared motor. When the gearmotor drives at low speed the clutch engages. When the faster electric motor drives, the clutch overruns, automatically switching between low speed and high speed.
Indexing
Reciprocating motion applied to the clutch transforms into one-direction motion. A crank mechanism provides reciprocating motion to drive the cam clutch. The clutch drives in the forward stroke (index) and overruns on the return stroke, indexing the feeding roller forward.
