Direct mounting sprag clutch without bearings
DM series direct mounting sprag clutches are specifically designed for use as backstops in applications where
compact dimensions are required. The clutch is designed to fit in a housing with the shaft as the inner race.
This type is particularly suitable for use in gear units and similar equipment where good concentricity
between shaft and housing is ensured. For all applications it is essential that shafts conform of the following
specification.
| Diameter | Shaft diameter to tolerances shown in table for dimension 'B' |
| Carburised | To an effective depth of 1.27 / 1.52mm (0.050'' / 0.060'') after grinding |
| Hardened | Surface HV30 650 to 750. Core HV30 250 to 400 |
| Ground | Surface finish 13 to 20 micro-inches CLA |
| Taper | Not to exceed 0.0003'' per inch |
| Concentricity | Shaft to be supported in bearings such that shaft and housing are concentric within 0.05mm (0.002") TIR |
| Diametral Clearance | Within housing to be 0.025 to 0.076mm (0.001" to 0.003") |
