How to Select the Right One-Way Sprag Clutch for Automated Machines

✅ 1. Key Information You Need to Prepare:

1. Shaft Diameter (Inner race size)

2. Housing Bore Diameter (Outer race size)

3. Available Thickness (Installation space)

4. Required Torque (Nm)

5. Operating Speed (RPM)

6. Do you already have support bearings?

✅ 2. When to Choose DC Series (like DC5776A-N):

You can use DC Series Sprag Clutch if:

• You already have inner and outer races (shaft & housing)

• Your system includes radial/axial bearing support

• You can provide proper lubrication (oil or grease)

• You want flexibility and lower cost

✅ 3. Example:

If your machine has:

• Shaft diameter ≈ 58mm

• Housing bore ≈ 74mm

• Torque load ≈ 600 Nm

• Speed < 3300 rpm

Then the recommended model is:

✅ DC5776A-N
ID: 57.76mm, OD: 74.42mm, Torque: 604 Nm, Thickness: 16mm

✅ 4. Summary:

• Match the dimensions → shaft & housing

• Check torque capacity → TKN

• Stay within speed limits → avoid failure

• Have lubrication & bearing support → DC series is suitable
