Centrifugally Lift Off Sprags Freewheels RSXM

The series RSXM completes the small to medium backstop range, which commenced with the highly successful RSCI program. Type RSXM is a centrifugal lift-off sprag type freewheel with the inner race rotating. Only the inner race is designed for freewheeling. It is a non-self-supported type. Bearings must be provided to ensure concentricity of the inner and outer races and support axial and radial loads, as shown overleaf. Concentricity and runout limits must be observed.

The RSXM type accepts all lubricants currently used in power transmission equipment. It is possible to mount these freewheels directly in gearboxes without separate lubrication. An oil mist is generally sufficient. Grease lubrication may be acceptable if the unit works mainly in overrunning condition, as on E-motors. When used as a backstop, it must be checked that the overrunning speed will not go below the minimum speed given in the characteristic table.
