Backstop Applications
Conveyers: Stop load
Winches: Stop load
High Voltage Switching: Safety device
Textile Machine: Material feed protection
Industrial Fan: Motor Protection
Overrunning
This type of Clutch application can take a couple of forms. The main one would be a reverse direction preventer to protect the machine it is mounted on. This is where the Clutch is spinning without being engaged, 'Overrunning', until failure occurs. At this moment the clutch would engage and hold the process in place. The opposite application would be when the clutch is engaged most of the time, but overrunning is required for successful operation. The most notorious application for this use is the bicycle.
Overrunning Applications
Conveyers: Speed Compensation
Mixers: Motor Protection
Motorcycles: Gear Box or Transmission
Packaging Machine: Spins Down Freely
Printing Press: Ink Roller Drive
