Product catalog summary
Overview of Overrunning/One-Way Clutch (Model O)
The overrunning clutch, Model O, is designed to transmit torque up to its rated value in the positive direction. When disengaged, it only transmits minimal drag torque in the reverse direction. This model is primarily used for anti-overrun protection and anti-backup devices. It allows the load to overrun the input if the load speed exceeds the input speed, acting as a one-way clutch to prevent reverse rotation.
WSC Series Clutches
The WSC Series wrap spring clutches are mechanically actuated, eliminating the need for external electrical control devices. These clutches are compact, easy to install, and offer high torque capacity. They come in five standard sizes with bore sizes ranging from 1/4" to 1-1/2" and static torque ratings from 25 lb.in. to 2500 lb.in. The clutches feature a choice of hub or shaft input and offer various stop collar configurations, including single, double, or quadruple stops per revolution.
Model Variants
  • Single Revolution (Model S): This model accelerates the load similarly to Model SS. Deceleration begins when the collar is restrained, opening the spring and disengaging the clutch. The brake torque capability is limited to 10% of the rated torque.
  • Start/Coast-To-Stop (Model SS): This model accelerates the load after the control collar is released, allowing the spring to grip both hubs. Disengagement occurs when the collar is restrained, allowing the load to coast to a stop.
Specifications and Ordering Information
The WSC Series clutches are available in various sizes and configurations. Specifications include static torque, inertia of rotating parts, maximum radial bearing load, and maximum operating speed. Ordering requires specifying the series, size, type of operation, direction of rotation, input type, bore size, and stop collar configuration. Detailed specifications and part numbers are provided for each model size, including WSC-2, WSC-4, WSC-5, WSC-6, and WSC-8.

Packaged Performance Products WSC Series Clutches Mechanically Activated, Basic Wrap Spring Clutch Design WSC Series wrap spring clutches are mechanically actuated, eliminating the need for external electrical control devices. These simple, trouble free, easy-to-install clutches feature a high torque capacity in a small, compact package. A choice of three different operating styles is available. Features n Five standard sizes n Standard bore sizes from 1/4" to 1-1/2" n Static torque rating from 25 lb.in. to 2500 lb.in. n Mechanically actuated n Choice of hub or shaft input n 1, 2 or 4 stop collars standard n Overtravel stop – Special n Anti-overrun – Special n Adjustable stop feature – Special n Self-lubricating, no maintenance n Simple mechanical actuation n Easy-to-machine hubs readily adapt to application needs n Single stop collars for single revolution operation Multistops for less than one turn Start/Coast-To-Stop (Model SS) Control Tang The overrunning clutch (Model O) transmits torque up to the rated value in the positive direction, when disengaged it only transmits some drag torque in the reverse direction. Major applications for this unit are anti-overrun protection and anti-backup devices. The load is allowed to overrun the input, should the load speed exceed the input speed. In reverse it acts as a one-way clutch, preventing reverse rotation. Control Tang The start/coast-to-stop clutch (Model SS) accelerates the load just after the control collar has been released, thus the collar is free to rotate allowing the spring to grip both hubs together. To disconnect the clutch, the collar has to be restrained, stopping the collar from rotating via the stop face. The spring will then be opened and the clutch will be disengaged. The output is free to rotate and will be stopped by system friction and clutch drag torque. The start/coast-to-stop clutch is engaged until the collar is stopped, which disengages the clutch allowing the load to coast to a stop. Single Revolution (Model S) The single revolution clutch (Model S) accelerates in the same manner as the model SS. The deceleration starts when the collar is restrained, and the spring is opened, disengaging the clutch. For Model S, the brake torque capability is limited to 10% of the rated torque. All WSC Series clutches are easy to install. The shaft can be pinned or, on larger units, delivered with keyways, a simple solution for applications requiring accurate positioning. One, two or four stop per revolution collars are available.
