Product Overview: CSK 40 One-Way Clutch Bearing
The CSK 40 is a specialized sprag-type freewheel clutch seamlessly integrated within a standard 6208 series ball bearing. With key dimensions of 40x90x22mm, this component is designed to transmit torque in one direction while allowing free rotation in the opposite direction. As part of our versatile CSK Series of One Way Lock Bearings, the CSK 40 provides a compact and reliable solution for applications requiring backstopping, indexing, or overrunning capabilities. Its dual functionality as both a clutch and a bearing simplifies machine design and installation.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we ensure our CSK 40 clutch bearings are manufactured to precise industry standards, offering dependable performance and a long service life. This unit comes pre-lubricated with grease, making it ready for immediate installation and suitable for a wide array of industrial machinery where controlled, unidirectional motion is critical.
Key Features of the CSK 40
- Integrated Design: Combines a one-way clutch and a ball bearing into a single, compact unit, saving space and simplifying assembly.
- Sprag-Type Mechanism: Utilizes a sprag clutch design for instant engagement and high torque transmission with minimal backlash.
- Standard Dimensions: Manufactured to the dimensional specifications of a 6208 deep groove ball bearing (40x90x22mm) for easy interchangeability.
- Unidirectional Operation: Allows free rotation in one direction and provides positive locking in the reverse direction.
- Ready to Install: Shipped pre-lubricated, eliminating the need for initial maintenance and ensuring proper function from the start.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel to withstand industrial operating conditions and ensure long-term reliability.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Prevents belt reversal when the drive is shut off, acting as a reliable backstop.
- Packaging Machinery: Used for precise indexing of material feeds and cutting mechanisms.
- Printing Presses: Ensures accurate, intermittent paper feeding and roller positioning.
- Industrial Fans and Pumps: Functions as an overrunning clutch, allowing a secondary drive to take over or preventing reverse rotation.
- Textile Machinery: Enables precise, repeatable motion control in weaving and spinning equipment.
- Agricultural Equipment: Used in balers and seeders for indexing and backstopping functions.
- Fitness Equipment: Provides the freewheeling mechanism in stationary bikes and elliptical trainers.
- Automated Assembly Lines: Facilitates controlled, step-by-step movement of components.
Benefits of Using the CSK 40
- Enhanced Safety: Prevents dangerous reverse movement in machinery like inclined conveyors, protecting both equipment and personnel.
- Improved Process Control: Enables highly accurate and repeatable indexing operations, increasing production quality.
- Increased Efficiency: The overrunning feature allows for dual-drive systems or energy-saving freewheeling when a motor is turned off.
- Simplified Design: The all-in-one design reduces the number of required components, lowering assembly time and potential points of failure.
- Space Savings: Its compact footprint, identical to a standard ball bearing, is ideal for applications with limited space.
- Reduced Maintenance: As a self-contained, pre-lubricated unit, it requires minimal upkeep, lowering overall operational costs.
