Featured Products
Backstops
Backstops prevent reverse rotation in conveyors, elevators, and drive systems. They protect equipment from damage, ensuring controlled motion and reliable operation during shutdowns or load reversals.
Freewheels
Freewheels (or overrunning clutches) allow rotation in one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. Commonly used in indexing, backstopping, and overrunning applications, they improve efficiency and reduce wear in power transmission systems.
Lift-off Sprags & Sprag Clutches
Lift-off sprags provide high-speed overrunning with minimal friction. Their design lifts the sprags off the races during free rotation, reducing wear and extending service life ideal for continuous-duty or high-speed machinery.
