Product Overview: The CSK 15 One-Way Clutch Bearing
The CSK 15 is a high-performance sprag type freewheel bearing, designed as a one-way clutch integrated into a standard ball bearing. With key dimensions of 15x35x11mm, it is dimensionally equivalent to a 6202 series ball bearing, allowing for easy integration into existing systems. Part of our specialized CSK Series, this bearing is engineered to transmit torque in one direction of rotation while freewheeling or overrunning in the opposite direction. This mechanism is crucial for applications requiring backstopping, indexing, or overrunning capabilities.
As a key component in our range of One Way Lock Bearings, the CSK 15 is manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to ensure durability and reliable performance. Its compact, self-contained design simplifies installation and makes it an ideal solution for a wide variety of industrial and mechanical applications where precise control of rotational direction is essential.
Key Features of the CSK 15 Bearing
- One-Way Torque Transmission: Reliably engages to transmit torque in one direction and disengages to freewheel in the other.
- Integrated Bearing Support: Combines a one-way clutch with a ball bearing in a single unit, providing radial support and saving space.
- Compact Design: Based on the 6202 ball bearing dimensions (15x35x11mm), making it easy to fit into compact machinery.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from hardened bearing steel for excellent wear resistance and a long service life.
- Self-Contained Unit: Supplied pre-lubricated and ready to install, simplifying the assembly process.
- Versatile Functionality: Can be used for overrunning, indexing, and backstopping applications.
Common Applications of CSK 15 Bearings
- Conveyor Systems: Used as a backstop to prevent conveyors from rolling backward in case of a power failure.
- Printing Machinery: Enables precise paper feeding and indexing operations.
- Packaging Equipment: Facilitates intermittent motion control in wrapping and bottling machines.
- Textile Machinery: Used in looms and other equipment for controlled fabric feeding.
- Agricultural Equipment: Applied in seeders and balers to control mechanical operations.
- Exercise Equipment: Found in stationary bikes and rowing machines to provide a freewheeling effect.
- Industrial Fans and Pumps: Prevents reverse rotation which could damage the motor or system.
- Vending Machines: Controls the dispensing mechanism for reliable product delivery.
Benefits of Using the CSK 15 Bearing
- Improved Machine Safety: The backstopping function prevents uncontrolled reverse movement, enhancing operational safety.
- Enhanced Precision: Allows for accurate and repeatable indexing, crucial for automated processes.
- Increased Equipment Lifespan: Protects machinery from the shock and damage caused by reverse torque.
- Simplified Design: Eliminates the need for more complex external clutches or backstops, saving space and cost.
- Reliable Performance: Offers a dependable mechanical solution for controlling rotational direction.
- Reduced Maintenance: As a sealed and self-contained unit, it requires minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions.
