Advantages

Two Complete Freewheels FB 82 SFT as over- running clutches in the drive of an edge trimming shear in a wide strip roll train. When trimming the edges of the strip, the trimming
rollers are driven by the drive of the edge trimming shear. By doing so, the two freewheels work in driving operation. 

As soon as the sheet metal strip is gripped by the next pair of rollers, they pull the strip at an increased speed and the inner rings overrun the slower turning drive of the edge trimming shear. By doing so, the
freewheels work in freewheeling operation. The RIDUVIT® sprags give the freewheels an extended service life.

Mounting

The customer attachment part is on the external diameter D and then bolted on to the face.
The tolerance of the shaft must be ISO h6 or j6 and the tolerance of the pilot diameter D of the attachment part must be ISO H7 or J7.
