Formsprag FSR Clutches
 

The machine’s original clutch had begun to show signs of wear after several years of service. The Formsprag sleeve-bearing FSR is used as a backstopping clutch on the press feed drive.

The clutch is mounted on one end of the feed drive roller with the outer race grounded using a torque arm. This installation allows the drive roller to rotate in only the desired direction. Press feed rollers that handle steel and other stiff materials pulled from a coil need to resist the material’s natural tendency to spring backwards or re-coil.

• Suitable for general purpose overrunning, indexing and backstopping applications
• Formchrome® sprags for maximum life and resistance to wear
• Keyseat and snap-ring groove
• Oil-lubrication
• Buna-N oil seal at each end of the clutch
• Eight different sizes available
• “Free-action” sprag retainer (on selected models)
