US Series Freewheel

 
Performance:
The US Series freewheels are not self-centering. It is therefore required
to place one or two bearings next tothe freewheel so that the outer race
can rotate centrallyto the inner race.
US freewheels have ball bearings with the same
dimensions as the 62.. Series.
The torque forces are transmitted from the shaft to the
inner race by means of a key and from the outer race
to the seating by means of an interference fit on the r6
tolerance of the external diameter.
Shaft tolerance must be either h6 or j7; the tolerances
for the seating must be either H7 or J6.
Before being put onto service, the freewheels must
be lubricated with suitable lubricants following the
instructions given on page 12. Oil lubrication is essential
when a high number of rotations in neutral is reached.

GV Series Freewheels

 
Performance:
GV Series freewheels are with rollers, centering between
the inner race and outer race is carried out by means
of bushes.
The torque forces are transmitted from the shaft to the
inner race by means of a key.
Shaft tolerance must be h6.
When the freewheel is used as a non return device,
the lever fixed to the outer race must be sandwiched
between two brackets; otherwise a pin must be inserted
in the looped hole. When locked to the frame of a
machine, it stops the freewheel rotating.
If the freewheel is used as an intermittent feed, the
lever must be attached lengthways using the hole for
a pushrod or similar. In any case, to avoid overloading
the bushes, the lever must be given a certain amount of
clearance to allow for the axial movement.
The freewheel is supplied already greased.

GLG Series Freewheels

 
Performance:
The GLG Series freewheels are particularly suitable for
applications requiring long operation times in neutral
at high speeds.
These have the same bodies as the GL series but a
cage of the GP series is mounted inside which makes
it possible for the bodies to detach when running in
neutral to reduce wear.
Flanges are from the GL series, see pages 32 to 37 for
dimensions.
Models with holes 70 and 80 are produced by modifying
only the internal ring of the GLG60/GL2G60, for which
the same kind of flanges are mounted.
The torque forces are transmitted from the shaft to the
inner race by means of a key and from the outer race to
the external area by means of screws.
Shaft tolerances must be h6, whilst tolerances for the
driven part must be H7.
Grease lubrication with a labyrinth seal allows a high
reduction of heat due to oil movement and friction
between sealing rings.
Each freewheel is supplied with paper gaskets (without
paper gaskets, the freewheel can be seriously damaged).

GM Series Freewheels

 
Performance:
The GM Series.... is a cage with contact elements running
on a metric sized freewheel race.
The smaller dimensions and the high transmission
torque offer some interesting technical and cost-saving
solutions.
Fitting multiple cages side-by-side increases torques.
It is necessary to place one or two bearings next to the
freewheel so that the outer race can rotate centrally to
the inner race.
When the sliding race is machined in the seats or on the
shafts, the following specifications must be adhered to:
1) 60/62 HRC surface hardness
2) 1 mm minimum depth of tempering after grinding
3) ensure the concentric rotation of the races
4) lubrication suitable for the application.
For further information, please contact our Technical
Department.

centring bearings, that are needed each time GP cages
are used.
The outer A and B races must be key inserted. Make sure
that the seat is not deformed after being fitted.
We recommend you lubricate them properly as well as
the relevant seals.

the following table.
A key will transmit the torque between outer ring and
the shaft.
The tolerance of the housing bore must be H7.
The sprags work on the shaft made by the user which
must be realized following these indications:
