The RC-162110 RICH is a robust drawn cup roller clutch, specifically engineered to provide reliable one-way power transmission in compact mechanical systems. Manufactured by RICH, this unit features precise metric dimensions of 25.4 x 33.37 x 15.875 mm and utilizes a thin-walled drawn cup outer ring, optimized for simple, press-fit installation.
This roller clutch functions as a sprag-type clutch, where spring-loaded needle rollers engage the shaft to transmit rotational force in one direction (driving) and release tension to allow free motion in the opposite direction (freewheeling). This critical functionality makes the RC-162110 RICH essential for applications requiring precise indexing, secure backstopping (to prevent reverse motion), or effective overrunning capabilities. The drawn cup design ensures a high torque capacity relative to its compact size and low weight (0.026 kg), making it highly efficient for gearboxes, handling equipment, and specialized industrial machinery.
