STIEBER SOLUTIONS: ALWAYS THE RIGHT CHOICE.

Unit selection is initially determined by the type of application: OC Overrunning clutch, IC Indexing clutch, BS Backstop. Different technical information is required for each one of them. Mounting details and lubrication requirements finally determine the unit selected.

The information required for each type of application is as follows:

Overrunning Clutch

• Type of motor
• Nmstart/Nmnominal of E-motors
• Internal combustion engines, please consult Stieber
• Nominal driving torque
• Range of driving speed
• Inertia „J“ of the driven masses
• Range of overrunning speed
• Number of start during service life
• Shaft diameter

Indexing Clutch

• Number of cycles/min
• Index angle
• Nominal torque
• Inertia „J“ of the driven masses
• Accelerations of the driving member
• Number of indexes during service life
• Shaft diameter

Backstop

• Static reverse torque
• Maximum dynamic reverse torque due to elasticity of the locked parts (elastic belts, shafts more than 3 meters long)
• Range of overrunning speed
• Number of torque applications during service life
• Shaft diameter

THE SELECTION PROCEDURE: WE ADVISE, YOU DECIDE.

If we have the data previous described, Stieber can make the most accurate selection. If all of the information is not available, or if you want to make a selection yourself, the following service factor procedure may be used.

Note: The following method and the service factors used are only a guide based on experience and cannot cover all situations. We cannot accept responsibility for incorrect selection resulting from the use of these tables.

Step 1 TORQUE SELECTION

The first step is to calculate the catalogue torque (T_KN) of the unit to be chosen. This torque is derived from the application nominal torque (T_appl) multiplied by a (service factor) S.F. depending on the function of the freewheel and working conditions.

Nominal torque of the application: The unit catalogue torque will be:

Note: All the units shown in this catalog can support a maximum torque equal to 2 times the catalogue torque T_KN indicated in the respective data tables.

The following curve may be used as a guide to determine the relationship between torque transmitted and the number of cycles (applications of this torque) the unit would withstand in its life time. Average values are shown.

Model Selection

Step 2 MODEL SELECTION

When the catalogue torque is known, the model will be selected from the following criteria:

• Built-in or self-contained design
• Driving and overrunning speed limits
• Dimensions
• Lubrication and maintenance

Please refer to the selection table for a guide to selection. The product range is presented in this order:

SELF-CONTAINED BALL BEARING UNITS (CSK RANGE)

General purpose, economical units for light applications. Grease lubricated, maintenance free. With or without key(s) mounting to shaft and housing.

BUILT-IN UNITS

Roller types with inner and outer races (A-series) or only a cage (DC sprag series). Bearing support, lubrication and maintenance must be provided.

SELF-CONTAINED UNITS

• Low speed, grease lubricated, maintenance free (RSBW, AV series)
• Medium overrunning speed inner race. High overrunning speed outer race. Roller types, oil lubricated. (AL, GFR series).
• High overrunning speed inner race. Medium overrunning speed outer race. Sprag types, oil or grease lubricated (SMZ, FS, FSO series).
• High speed, high power, for continuous duty encased overrunning clutches (AL..G, CEUS.., BC..MA series).

CENTRIFUGAL LIFT OFF SPRAG TYPES

Special overrunning clutches and backstops contact free during overrunning. Please be aware of the speeds permissible in driving and overrunning modes.

• Built-in units: Low lubrication requirement. Accept a large range of lubricants (RSCI series).
• Self-contained units: Grease lubricated, long life and maintenance free (RIZ series).
