KK40-1K

description

• The KK clutch consists of a standard metric ball bearing combined with cams. The clutch design is unique, incorporating an independent cam-cage assembly installed alongside the offset ball cage. The clutch has the same overall dimensions of the metric bearing. The clutches are entirely self-contained, and do not require additional bearing support. The cam-cage assembly uses an energizing spring to help keep the entire complement of cams in light contact with the races to provide rapid engagement when torque transmission occurs. The wedging action of the full set of cams produces significant torque capability in a compact, economical package.

applications

• Electric motor backstops
• Exercise equipment
• Household appliances
• Pump backstops

features

• High-Strength Outer Race - Made from high carbon alloy steel, our precision-ground outer race provides fatigue life reliability.
• Rotating Bearing Retainer - Located flush with the outer racer, this retainer contains evenly spaced, hardened steel balls to provide equal distribution of load for optimized concentricity between the inner and outer races.
• Hardened Steel Ball Bearings - Individually formed from hardened chrome alloy steel, the balls are secured within the retainer to provide concentricity and equal distribution of radial load within the clutch.
• Precision-Ground Inner Race - Similar to a 6000 Series metric bearing, the ball pathway and cam wear surface are hardened and ground to enable rapid cam engagement and low drag operation.
• Durable Cam-Cage - Made from molded nylon, the cam-cage provides equal spacing between each cam. When cams articulate within the cage, cam engagement is uniform providing equal distribution of load and more uniform stress on the cams and inner race.
• Heavy-Duty Garter Spring - Located within the cam cage, the energizing garter spring creates the drag torque needed for accuracy of cam engagement.
• Profiled Cams - Manufactured from high carbon steel, the cams carry high compressive loads when the clutch is locked and transmitting torque.
• Lightweight Retaining Endplate/Dust Shield - Attached to the outer race, the end plate helps retain lubrication and protect components within the clutch assembly. Felt and contact lip seal designs are available.
