Ball Bearing Clutches
The Renold REUK Series is a freewheel clutch incorporating a 62 Series ball bearing. These self-centering freewheels are already grease-lubricated and come with dust-proof protection, making them a compact, low-maintenance choice for overrunning, indexing and backstopping duties. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as part of the genuine Renold range.
Product Description
The Renold REUK Series is a freewheel clutch built around a 62 Series ball bearing. It is self-centering, comes pre-filled with grease and is protected against dust ingress, making it a compact drop-in solution wherever a simple, low-maintenance overrunning or backstopping device is needed. The series is built with a C5 clearance that settles into a normal running clearance once the unit is keyed onto the shaft.
Four variants cover different mounting needs:
- REUK — inner race mounted on an n6-tolerance shaft, outer race fitted into an N6-tolerance housing
- REUKC — keyway on the inner race, fitted on k6-tolerance shafts, outer race in an N6-tolerance housing
- REUKCC — keyway on both inner and outer race; inner race on n6 shaft, outer race in an H6-tolerance housing
- REUK2RS — equipped with waterproof seals for wet or contaminated environments
Races can also be glued to the shaft and housing seat, in which case the C5 clearance is retained rather than tightening up.
Applications
- Overrunning applications on conveyors and drive systems
- Indexing mechanisms requiring precise one-way rotation
- Backstopping on inclined and elevating conveyors
- General power transmission drives needing a compact freewheel
- Wet or contaminated environments (REUK2RS with waterproof seals)
- Machinery where low maintenance and dust protection are priorities
