Product catalog summary
Application Example: The document describes the use of Complete Freewheels FRS 600 in a transport system with a reversible conveyor belt. Drive unit I handles forward movement, while drive unit II manages reverse movement. The freewheels automatically disengage the non-working drive, eliminating the need for external clutches or brakes. Speed control is necessary for both drives.
Product Features: Complete Freewheels FRS and FRSG are sealed sprag freewheels with ball bearings, ready for installation. FRS is oil-filled, while FRSG is grease-filled. They support maximum torques up to 55,000 lb-ft and bores up to 7 inches. Standard and metric bores are available.
Mounting Instructions: The attachment part should be centered on the external diameter D and bolted to the face. Recommended shaft tolerance is +0/-0.001 inch, and pilot diameter tolerance is -0/+0.002 inch. Labyrinth seals are available for harsh environments.
Additional Application Example: The document also covers the use of Complete Freewheel FRX 600 as an overrunning clutch in a conveyor belt system with a creep drive. The freewheel is installed between the main motor and the creep drive, allowing the creep drive to operate at low speed while the main motor drives during normal operation.
FRX and FRZ Features: These are sealed sprag freewheels with sprag lift-off X or Z, supporting maximum torques up to 30,000 lb-ft and bores up to 5.438 inches. They are designed for high-speed operations with wear-free sprag lift-off.
Technical Specifications: The document includes detailed tables with specifications for various freewheel sizes, including bore dimensions, maximum and nominal torque, and speed ratings for both inner and outer ring operations.

Complete Freewheels FRS and FRSG for bolting to the face with sprags Application as ➧ Backstop ➧ Overrunning Clutch ➧ Indexing Freewheel Features Complete Freewheels FRS and FRSG are sealed sprag freewheels with ball bearings and ready for installation. The freewheels FRS are supplied oil-filled. The freewheels FRSG are supplied grease filled. Maximum torques up to 55 000 lb-ft. Bores up to 7 inch. Standard bores in inch dimension are available from stock. Metric bores on request. Application example Drive unit II Locking direction Complete Freewheels FRS 600 in both drive units of a transport system with a conveyor belt that moves both forward and backward (reversible operation). In order to ensure that the conveyor belt is moved under tension, forward movement is driven by drive unit I, reverse movement by drive unit II. The freewheels automatically disengage the respective non working drive, eliminating the need for expensive external clutches or brakes. Freewheeling direction Freewheeling direction Locking direction RINGSPANN has developed a utility model for such applications with reversible operation. For forward movement, drive unit II is started in freewheeling direction of freewheel II; freewheel II is in freewheeling operation and disengages drive unit II from the conveyor belt. Afterwords drive unit I is started in the locking direction of the freewheel I; freewheel I is in driving operation and the conveyor belt is moved forward by drive unit I. The speed of drive unit I is lower than that of drive unit II. Thus freewheel II remains in freewheeling operation and drive unit II is not improperly engaged. For reverse movement, the drive units are started in reverse order and direction of rotation at the corresponding speeds. The mentioned application for a reversing conveyor requires speed control for both of the drives. Conveyors operating in the same direction can use clutches in conjunction with the two drives.
