Formsprag FSO Overrunning Clutch for Steel Mill Slitting Line
A replacement clutch solution was needed at a steel processing facility that was
experiencing slipping in the threading drive on its slitting line. The clutch, mounted
between the low-speed threading drive and the slitting rollers, automatically
disconnects the drive to protect it from the over-speeding condition when the
slitting machine is run at high production speeds.
Formsprag Clutch supplied a grease-lubricated, 10" diameter FSO-800 clutch
with a 13,000 lb.ft. (17,680 Nm) torque capacity to meet the challenging
application requirements. FSO overrunning clutches feature a high torque density
and require no adjustments or controls. These clutches mount on a through shaft,
with the inner race driven by a key. All models contain Formchrome® sprags
and Formsprag “Free-action” retainers.
