Starter Overrrunning Clutch Drive


The Hilliard High-Speed Starter Overrunning Clutch Drive provides positive engagement and high torque on demand. Featuring a unique roller-ramp design, the clutch when engaged transmits power via the precision-machined cam and roller assembly connected to the input shaft. A ball bearing at each end of the roll cage supports and aligns the cam in relation to the drive (output) shaft.

Applications

Marine/Shipping - Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission - Oil & Gas - Power Generation - Turbine Engines
