Overrunning Clutches for the Amusement Ride Powertrain
Formsprag Clutch® FSO overrunning clutches and LLH holdback clutches are popular among ride manufacturers. In fact, the Model FSO-500 clutch is utilized on the world’s longest wooden roller coaster at a theme park in Ohio.
The four-minute ride reaches speeds of 65 mph with a 137 ft. vertical drop. Mounted to the drive tire brake system, the FSO-500 clutch stops unwanted backward movement of the train cars.
Read about another FSO-500 clutch on a water plum ride.
