Product Overview: The CSK 12 One-Way Clutch Bearing
The CSK 12 is a specialized freewheel bearing, dimensionally based on a standard 6201 ball bearing. Part of our versatile CSK Series, this component functions as a one-way clutch, allowing free rotation in one direction while locking in the opposite direction. With a bore diameter of 12mm, an outer diameter of 32mm, and a thickness of 10mm, the CSK 12 integrates a sprag type freewheel into a compact, bearing-supported unit. This design provides high torque transmission for its size and is delivered pre-greased, ready for installation.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we provide high-quality CSK series bearings designed for reliability in various automated and mechanical systems. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring overrunning, indexing, or backstopping capabilities, offering both radial support and clutch functionality in a single, efficient package.
Key Features of the CSK 12 Bearing
- Dual Functionality: Combines a one-way clutch and a radial ball bearing into a single unit, saving space and simplifying assembly.
- Sprag Clutch Design: Utilizes a high-precision sprag mechanism for instant engagement and reliable torque transmission.
- Standard Dimensions: Manufactured to the same principal dimensions as a 6201 deep groove ball bearing for easy integration and interchangeability.
- Pre-Lubricated: Supplied with grease, ensuring it is ready for immediate use and reducing maintenance requirements.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Made from durable bearing steel for long service life and consistent performance under operational stress.
- Versatile Mounting: Designed for a simple press-fit installation into a rigid housing.
Common Applications for CSK 12
- Conveyor Systems: Used as a backstop to prevent conveyors from rolling backward when stopped.
- Printing and Packaging Machinery: Enables precise intermittent feeding and indexing of materials.
- Industrial Fans and Pumps: Functions as an overrunning clutch, allowing the motor to be disengaged when the unit is freewheeling.
- Fitness Equipment: Commonly found in exercise bikes and elliptical trainers to provide resistance-free rotation in one direction.
- Automated Machinery: Essential for indexing applications where incremental, precise movements are required.
- Textile and Paper Mills: Controls roller rotation and material feed with high accuracy.
- Vending Machines: Used in dispensing mechanisms to ensure one-way operation.
Benefits of Using the CSK 12
- Enhanced Equipment Safety: The backstopping feature prevents dangerous reverse movement in inclined conveyors and similar machinery.
- Improved Operational Precision: Allows for accurate indexing and positioning in automated processes, increasing product quality.
- Space and Cost Efficiency: The integrated design eliminates the need for a separate bearing and clutch, reducing component count and assembly costs.
- Increased Mechanical Efficiency: The overrunning capability reduces drag and wear on drive components in applications with variable speeds.
- Simple Installation: Standard bearing dimensions allow for straightforward press-fitting, minimizing downtime during assembly or replacement.
- Reliable Performance: Offers dependable engagement and disengagement, contributing to smoother and more predictable machine operation.
