Made in Japan
Manufacturer: Fukuda Seiko
Model: FR 422 Z
Developed by GMN, which has been dealing with machine component parts for more than 100 years, this is a lightweight, space-saving, and high-torque one-way clutch. A mechanism of the ring fastening part called a sprag controls the direction of rotation.

Uniform load distribution due to individual sprag movements
High design freedom with various options: with inner and outer rings
, with axle reception, with keyway, with lubrication and seals
summary
A one-way clutch is a clutch mechanism that transmits power in only one direction, and GMN uses a sprag-type mechanism.
Idle direction Power transmission direction
The friction force generated when the uniquely designed sprag is upright around the entire circumference controls the direction of rotation. Since a static friction force is generated around the entire circumference, both high torque and space saving are achieved.
The slight rotation of the tilt angle of δ minutes makes the splug stand upright.
There are two types of spring structures that fix the splugs, Z type and M type, and use the M type for applications where the angular frequency (angular frequency) is greater than 10 Hz.
You can choose the best clutch from a variety of designs + options.

Shaft h5; hub H6
Constraints
The freewheel clutch insert element requires axial constraints
on both sides.
Mating parts
Hardening and grinding of the mating parts is not necessary.
Thoroughly clean (grease free) the mating parts in the vicinity of
the freewheel clutch as well as the freewheel clutch’s rings before
making the press fit.
Bearing
Freewheel clutch insert elements are not self-centering.
External bearing support to define the gap between mating parts
(inner and outer rings) is necessary.

The specified nominal torque is based on sufficient stiffness of mating parts (Pg. 22).
Rotation speed n = insert element’s inherent speed
