Information about the product
Our range of freewheel clutches includes complete freewheel clutches, ball bearing freewheel clutches, sleeve freewheel clutches and installation elements. Freewheel clutches are directional clutches that transmit drive forces in one direction and allow freewheeling in the opposite direction. They can be used as shifting elements, backstops or overrunning clutches.
Contact us if you have any questions about special solutions for overrunning clutches.
