Applications of Freewheels

➧ Backstop
Freewheels are used as backstops if reverse
rotation of the operating direction is to be
prevented. In many machines and installa-
tions, for technical safety or functional rea-
sons, it is necessary to ensure that you are
working in just one specified direction of ro-
tation. This is why there are legal stipulati-
ons requiring a mechanical safety device for
the operation of, e.g. conveyor systems.
The normal operating mode of a backstop Freewheeling Freewheeling
operation operation
is freewheeling operation; the locking (tor-
que transmission) is performed at zero
speed. The immediate engagement of the
clamping elements ensures the required 5-1 5-2

In general, backstops are used where the inner ring free- The more complicated designed backstops where the outer

rotation (figure 5-1). reverse rotation are rarely used today (figure 5-2).

➧ Overrunning Clutch
The overrunning clutch engages machines
or machine parts and automatically inter-
rupts their contact as soon as the driven
part of the overrunning clutch is turned fas-
ter than the driving part. In many cases, this
can replace a more expensive externally
actuated clutch.
With overrunning clutches the engage-
ment takes place in the driving operation
(torque transmission), while in freewheeling
operation the torque transmission between
the inner and outer ring is interrupted. In
driving operation the speeds of the inner
and outer ring are equal, while in free- Freewheeling Driving Freewheeling Driving

with cylindrical tracks. The individually spring
loaded sprags are arranged in between the
rings. The freewheel locks without slipping.
Different sprag profiles enable a multitude of
types. Types are available for:
• High torques
• Contactless freewheeling operation
• High indexing accuracy

Type with hydrodynamic sprag lift-off

The hydrodynamic sprag lift-off is the ideal
solution for overrunning clutches at high Freewheeling direction or
speeds, not only in freewheeling operation, but freewheeling operation
also in the driving operation, as can occur, for
example, in multimotor drives. In the case of the
hydrodynamic sprag lift-off, the lifting force is
generated by an oil flow. The relative speed
between the inner and outer rings is decisive
for the lifting-off function. Compared to the
freewheels with sprag lift-off X or Z, here the
driving speed can be just as high as the free-
wheeling speed. Direction of

Application example
Two Complete Freewheels FB 82 SFT as over-
running clutches in the drive of an edge trim-
ming shear in a wide strip roll train. When
trimming the edges of the strip, the trimming
rollers are driven by the drive of the edge trim-
ming shear. By doing so, the two freewheels
work in driving operation. As soon as the sheet
metal strip is gripped by the next pair of rollers,
they pull the strip at an increased speed and the
inner rings overrun the slower turning drive of
the edge trimming shear. By doing so, the
freewheels work in freewheeling operation. The
RIDUVIT® sprags give the freewheels an exten-
ded service life.

Application example
Two Complete Freewheels FKh 28 ATR as over-
running clutches in the drive system of a fan.
The fan can be driven either by an electric
motor or by a turbine. The freewheels between
the fan and the two drive assemblies automa-
tically engage the working drive with the fan
and in each case disengage the drive that is no
longer giving power. The freewheels replace
actuated clutches, which require an additional
activation when changing over from one drive
to another. The hydrodynamic sprag lift-off is
the most suitable type for a wear-free freewhee-
ling operation if the speeds in driving operation
are the same or similarly high to those speeds in
freewheeling operation.

Complete Freewheels FAV
with lever arm
with rollers and grease lubrication

Application as
➧ Backstop
➧ Indexing Freewheel
For application as backstop in installations with
low speeds in freewheeling operation.
For application as indexing freewheel in instal-
lations with low to medium total number of
actuations.

Features
Complete Freewheels FAV with lever arm are
roller freewheels with sleeve bearings. They are
grease-lubricated and therefore maintenance-
free.
Nominal torques up to 2 500 Nm.
40-1 Bores up to 80 mm.

Application example
Two Complete Freewheels FAV 50 in the roller
feed of a sheet metal processing machine. The
indexing freewheel arranged on the left is
driven via a bell crank with an adjustable lift.
This enables an infinite setting of the feed. The
backstop arranged on the right prevents the in-
dexing rollers from running backwards while
the indexing freewheel carries out its back
stroke. Often, an additional small brake is provi-
ded in order to prevent the accelerated sheet
metal strip from advancing.

Features
Complete Freewheels FBL with RINGSPANN
Shaft Coupling are sealed sprag freewheels with
ball bearings for coupling two shafts. They are
supplied oil-filled and ready for installation.
In addition to the standard type, two other
types are available for extended service life.
Nominal torques up to 8 000 Nm.
Bores up to 140 mm. Many standard bores are

The torsionally stiff RINGSPANN Shaft Coupling
can accept large radial and angular misa-
lignments, without reactive forces affecting
neighbouring bearings. We can provide you

Application example
Complete Freewheel FBL 82 SFZ as an overrun-
ning clutch in the drive unit of a conveyor belt
system with additional creep drive. The free-
wheel with shaft coupling is arranged in
between the main motor and the creep drive.
When the creep drive operates, the freewheel is
in driving operation and drives the belt at low
speed. In normal operation (freewheeling
operation), the main motor drives and the outer
ring overruns, whereupon the creep drive is au-
tomatically disengaged. With the high speed
here, the type sprag lift-off Z is used; the sprags
work in freewheeling operation without contact
and hence are wear-free.

at high speeds, which are the same or similiar in
freewheeling operation and in driving opera-
tion.

Features
Housing Freewheels FH with hydrodynamic rol-
ler lift-off are typically used in cases where an
assembly can be driven from two or more mo-
tors or turbines at the same or similar high
speed. They allow a continuous plant operation
in the event that one of the energy sources or a
drive line fails as well as energy saving in the
case of partial load operation.
The Housing Freewheels FH are completely en-
closed freewheels for stationary arrangement
with input and output shaft.

Advantages
• Nominal torques up to 81 350 Nm
• Shaft diameter up to 178 mm
• Wear-free operation
• Low noise

• Low power dissipation
• Integrated oil filtration system

duction gear in the drive of an inclined con-
veyor of an assembly train. When the unit stops,
the conveyor belt must be held securely so that
it does not run backwards by the weight of the
assembly parts. A brake disk is fitted to the outer
ring of the freewheel alongside a manually
operated RINGSPANN brake calliper. The back-
driving torque is maintained by the freewheel
and the closed brake. During set-up it must be
possible to move the installation in both
directions of rotation. To do this, the brake calli-
per is opened manually.

Features
Integrated Freewheels FXM are sprag free-
wheels without bearing support and with sprag
lift-off X.
The sprag lift-off X ensures a wear-free free-
wheeling operation when the inner ring rotates
at high speed.
Nominal torques up to 1 230 000 Nm.
Bores up to 560 mm. A multitude of standard-
ized bore diameters are available with short de-
livery times.

Application example
Integrated Freewheel FXM 170 - 63 MX with end
cover as backstop fitted to the end of the first
intermediate shaft of a spur gearbox in the drive
of an inclined conveyor belt. In the case of a
motor stop, the conveyor belt must be held se-
curely so that the conveyor goods do not pull
the belt backwards and possibly cause serious
damage. Due to the high shaft speeds in normal
operation (freewheeling operation), the sprag
lift-off X ensures a contactless and hence wear-
free continuous operation.

59-1

Application example
Two Integrated Freewheels FXM 120 – 50 MX in
the gearbox unit of a vertical bucket conveyor.
Alongside the main drive, the bucket conveyor
has a creep drive, which can be moved at a low
speed if maintenance work needs to be carried
out. The freewheel arranged between the creep
drive and the main drive works as an overrun-
ning clutch. When the creep drive operates, the
freewheel is in driving operation. In normal
operation, when driving via the main drive, the
inner ring of the freewheel overruns at high
speed and automatically disengages the creep
drive. The second freewheel that is arranged on
the end of the first intermediate shaft of the
main gearbox, works as a backstop and pre-
vents the bucket conveyor from running back
59-2
when the unit is at a standstill.

Application example
Integrated Freewheel FXM 76-25 NX as an over-
running clutch between the creep drive and the
main drive of a cement mixer. When the creep
drive operates, the outer ring is driven by the
shaft coupling. The freewheel works in driving
operation and drives the unit at a low speed via
the main gearbox. In normal operation (free-
wheeling operation), the inner ring overruns at
high speed and the creep drive is automatically
disengaged. With the high shaft speed, the type
sprag lift-off X is used; the sprags work in
freewheeling operation without contact and
hence are wear-free. The arrangement of the
seals between the freewheel and the main
gearbox is advantageous. In freewheeling oper-
ation, this is at a standstill and hence generates
59-3
no additional friction-related temperature rise.

running clutch, arranged on the main drive
shaft of a packaging machine. The outer ring is
connected to a creep drive by means of a gear
wheel. This drive is used during set-up. In this
operating state, the freewheel works in driving
operation and drives the machine at a very low
speed via the main shaft. In normal operation
(freewheeling operation), the inner ring over-
runs and the creep drive is automatically disen-
gaged. The RIDUVIT® sprags give the freewheel
an extended service life.

Integrated Freewheels FXR …
for bolting to the face
with sprag lift-off X and torque limiting

Application as
➧ Backstop
for continuous conveyor installations with mul-
tiple drives in which each drive is equipped with
a backstop.

Features
Integrated Freewheels FXR … are sprag free-
wheels without bearing support and with sprag
lift-off X. They consist of the Integrated
Freewheels FXM (refer to pages 58 to 63) with
additional torque limiter.
The sprag lift-off X ensures a wear-free free-
wheeling operation when the inner ring rotates
at high speed.
In continuous conveyor installations with mul-
tiple drives it is important to consider the pro-
blem of the unequal distribution of backdriving
torque to the individual drives and backstops.
As soon as the installation comes to a standstill,
the entire backdriving torque is applied prima-
rily to a single backstop, due to differences in
the play and elasticity of the drives involved. In
installations equipped with backstops without
torque limiters, the individual gearboxes and
the corresponding backstops must be designed
FXRW 240 LX FXRU 240 LX 66-1 to accommodate the entire backdriving torque
of the conveyor installation in order to ensure
safety.
Motor The problem of the unequal distribution of
backdriving torque is solved by using backstops
FXR … with torque limiting. The torque limiter
which is built into the backstop slips tempora-
rily when the specified torque is exceeded until
Reduction gear the other backstops engage in succession. In
this way, the entire backdriving torque of the
conveyor installation is distributed to the indi-
vidual gearboxes and backstops. Furthermore,
Backstop with
torque limiting dynamic peak torques which occur during the
Head pulley
locking process are reduced, thereby protecting
the gearboxes against damaging peak torques.
For this reason the use of backstops FXR … with
torque limiting in continuous conveyor installa-
tions with multiple drives enables the applica-
tion of gearboxes with smaller dimensions.

Backstop with Advantages

torque limiting • Protection of gearboxes from overload by
unequal load distribution in multiple drives
• Protection of gearboxes from dynamic peak
Conveyor belt torques during the locking process
• Smaller gearboxes can be used without
negatively effecting the safety
Drive layout of an inclined
conveyor with dual drives • Protection of the backstops, as dynamic peak
torques are reduced by temporarily slipping

Internal Freewheels FXN
for press fit on the outer ring
with sprag lift-off X

Application example
Internal Freewheel FXN 38 - 17/70 NX as a back-
stop, arranged in a housing adapter to attach to
an electric motor. The thin outer ring that is
pressed into the housing enables a space-effi-
cient fitting solution. Due to the high shaft
speeds in normal operation (freewheeling
operation), the sprag lift-off X ensures a con-
tactless and hence wear-free continuous oper-
ation.

71-1

Application example
Internal Freewheel FXN 66 - 25/100 NX as an
overrunning clutch in the creep drive of a textile
machine. The freewheel installation is com-
pactly solved by means of the thin outer ring
that is pressed into the worm wheel. During set-
up, the machine is driven by the worm gear and
the freewheel that is working in driving opera-
tion. In normal operation (freewheeling opera-
tion), the inner ring that is located on the high
speed main drive shaft overruns and automa-
tically disengages the creep drive. With the high
overrunning speed of the inner ring, the type
with sprag lift-off X is used; the sprags work in
freewheeling operation without contact and
hence are wear-free.

71-2

Application example
Internal Freewheel FXN 85 - 40/140 MX as a
backstop fitted to the end of the first interme-
diate shaft of a spur gearbox in the drive of an
inclined conveyor belt. In the case of a motor
stop the conveyor belt must be held securely so
that the conveyor goods do not pull the belt
backwards and possibly cause serious damage.
Due to the high shaft speeds in normal opera-
tion (freewheeling operation), the sprag lift-off
X ensures a contactless and hence wear-free
continuous operation.

Internal Freewheel FCN 30 R as overrunning
freewheel in the drive of the roof brush of an au-
tomatic car washing facility. The freewheel is ar-
ranged in the hub of a shaft coupling that
connects the motor and the reduction gear. The

roof brush uncontrolled down onto the car roof
in the event of a fault. The roof brush is raised
by the freewheels that are working in driving
operation. The direction of motor rotation
changes in order to lower the brush. The
downwards movement of the roof brush is per-
formed by its own weight at the speed speci-
fied by the motor. In the case of an uncontrolled
lowering of the roof brush on the car roof, the
drive is automatically disengaged via the
freewheel. The brush rests on the roof under its

Application example
Two Internal Freewheels FZ 6206 as indexing
freewheels in the drive of the metering roller of
a seed spreader. The freewheels are built in an
infinitely variable oil bath gearbox. Two cam
disks that are set off by 180° are arranged on the
gearbox shaft. By means of lever arms, these
drive the outer rings of the two adjacent Inter-
nal Freewheels, which then gradually turn the
metering shaft. The infinite speed settings of the
gearbox’s drive shaft are executed by means of
the respective pivoting of the roller support
plate, so that the lever arms can execute lifts of
differing amounts.

Irreversible Locks IR
bidirectional acting backstop for assembly with connecting parts
with rollers

Application as
➧ Bidirectional Acting Backstop

Features
Irreversible Locks IR are bidirectional acting
roller freewheels with bearing support. They are
ready for installation.
Nominal torques up to 100 Nm.
Bores up to 35 mm.
Whereas a normal Freewheel transmits torques
from the driving or driven side in only one
direction of rotation, with the Irreversible Lock
IR it is possible for the driving part to drive the
shaft in both directions of rotation. There is, ho-
wever, a locking action against any reverse tor-
que coming from the driven part, irrespective
96-1 of the direction of rotation in which it is exerted.

Operation
The centre body (1) is positively locked to the shaft is mounted on the shaft and has two bores to hold of engagement in opposition to the force exerted
(driven part) by a key. The housing (2) is bolted in the drive studs (4). Thus, if force is applied to the by the engaging spring (6). In this way, the driven
place, e. g. on the frame of a machine in a fixed po- driving part, depending upon the direction in part connected to the centre body can be rotated
sition. The driving customer-supplied part (lever, which it is applied one or other of the actuating without difficulty. When this is done the roller
handwheel, etc.), which carries actuating pegs (3), pegs presses one of the two locking rollers (5) out which is still engaged operates as in a freewheel
mechanism turning in the freewheeling direction.
2 Due to the symmetrical layout of the irreversible
lock, the process which has just been described
can also take place in the same way in the opposite
1 direction of rotation. If, however, forces coming
5 6 from the machine attempt to rotate the centre
4
body via the shaft, the centre body is locked to the
3
fixed housing by the locking rollers. Each roller per-
forms this function for one direction of rotation.
Thus, the irreversible lock prevents unintended
shifts and displacements from taking place. The ir-
reversible locks are not suitable for use where the
driven side tends to run ahead of the driving side
during operation (e.g. for the operation of brakes
96-2
during descending movements in lifts and hoists).

Application example
The valve, which in the example shown is a con-
trol or shut-off valve, is adjusted in the opening
or closing direction by means of a handwheel.
The Irreversible Lock prevents any uncontrolled
shifts in the position of the valve due to the
pressure exerted by the medium flowing in the
pipe.
The use of Irreversible Locks is not restricted to
manually operated valves and they can also be
used with motorised adjusters. In this case there
is the particular advantage that the torque
motor need be designed to supply only the ad-
justing torque, which is generally low, since all
standing and sudden reverse torques are ab-
sorbed by the Irreversible Lock.

special maintenance-free design. Lubrication of
the sprags in the overrunning clutch is not
required because of the high freewheeling
speed of the outer ring. The sprags are lifted off
of the stationary inner ring under the effect of
the centrifugal force and thus operate without
wear.
This overrunning clutch also uses life-time
lubricated ball bearings and labyrinth seals;
therefore, it is maintenance-free.

In this special bearing arrangement, the ball
bearings of the overrunning clutch only rotate
when the mill is driven slowly via the auxiliary
drive and the locked overrunning clutch. The
inner ring with the mounted freewheel cage
runs at high speed, but rotates without contact
because of the sprag lift-off X. Hence over-
heating of the bearings as well as wear on the
sprags is avoided.

101-1

Integrated Freewheel FON 82 SFR in a special

design as a load-operated brake in a non self-
locking worm gear. A load is raised or lowered
via the worm wheel. The load creates an axial
force and this asserts back torque on the worm
shaft. A freewheel is located on the worm shaft,
the outer ring of the freewheel is connected via
friction lining to the gearbox housing.
When the load is lifted, the inner ring freewheels
and the freewheel runs in freewheeling opera-
tion. When the machine is brought to a stand-
still, the sprags of the freewheel lock and the
back torque of the load is passed into the gear-
box housing via the friction lining. If the motor
lowers the load, the freewheel is also locked and
the motor overcomes the friction torque of the
brake.
In this case, the bearing support for the outer
ring is secured by means of a special freewheel
cage. Beside sprags, this design also includes cy-
lindrical rollers. These rollers provide the cente-
ring of the outer ring to the inner ring.
