Stainless steel and plastic chain come together
Tsubaki's Poly-Steel Chain combines the performance advantages of stainless steel and engineering plastics, and is ideal where a quiet, clean and lube-free drive or conveyor chain is required
Free flow chain design doubles conveyor speed
Tsubaki's novel Double Plus free flow conveyor chain conveys objects 2.5 times faster than the actual chain speed, to give users a competitive edge through improved conveying performance.
Both standard clutches and internal keyway-mounted versions are available, which are easy to fit and interchangeable with competitive models as well as standard bearings.
OEM manufacturers producing equipment for woodworking, quarrying and materials handling industries are set to benefit most from Tsubaki's new range of sealed cam clutches.
The lip seal on the BB-2GD series protects the internal mechanism of the clutch from dust, grit or other abrasive substances, benefiting users through improved performance in terms of durability and accuracy.
In addition to particulate ingress, contamination from foreign lubricants is also a common reason for premature clutch failure, especially during routine system servicing.
To successfully combat this, the BB-2GD units come ready sealed with a long life lubricant, avoiding grease exchange as well as eliminating maintenance requirements.
The BB-2GD cam clutches are designed for convenient press fitting into standard ball bearing housings, (from 35mm to 80mm OD) and can accommodate shafts from 15mm to 40mm.
Torque capacities range from 29Nm to 260Nm allowing the units to easily replace bulkier, less efficient ratchet or roller designs in conveyor and vertical lift systems.
The new BB-2GD-1K model increases the compatibility of the BB-2GD series by offering an optional keyway on the inner race of the clutch.
Tsubaki are one of the few manufactures to carry the BB-2GD-1K units from stock and the recent launch of the BB-K and BSEU series units, means that they now offer one of the widest ranges of one-way cam clutches available, meeting torque requirements right up the scale to 686,000Nm.
