The TSUBAKI BB series freewheel is a power transmission component that permits rotation in one direction while locking it in the other. It serves to prevent backdriving, enable intermittent indexing and protect driven equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
The BB designation is followed by a number that identifies the model size: BB15, BB17, BB20, BB25, BB30, BB35 and BB40. That figure is an internal code that orders the series by capacity, not a diameter or a direct measurement. To choose the correct unit, match the code with your application conditions: torque, speed and mounting arrangement. If you are unsure, send the complete code and we will verify it for you.
These freewheels are found in equipment that needs holding or controlled indexing, such as conveyor belts, bucket elevators, gearboxes, machine tools and positioning systems. In food, cement, steel and material handling plants, they help prevent load backdriving that could damage machinery or create safety risks. They also act as a safety element in drives that must turn in one direction only.
When selecting a freewheel, review the torque it will transmit, the rotation speed and the required locking direction. Proper mounting calls for shafts and housings with good concentricity and alignment, since misalignment shortens the mechanism's service life. Lubrication must suit the seal type and ambient conditions: dust, humidity or temperature all affect the choice. For critical applications, verify clearance and the fastening method before requesting a quote.
Freewheels come in various brands and equivalent series, but codes are not always directly interchangeable. Each manufacturer sets its own mounting dimensions, torque capacities and speed limits. Before substituting one freewheel for another, compare the installation dimensions and operating conditions. We can help you locate a suitable equivalent within the TSUBAKI line or other options.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number in models BB15, BB20 or BB30 indicate?
- It is part of the size code for the BB series. It is not a direct measurement but an identifier that orders the models by capacity. To determine which model fits your equipment, check the torque, speed and mounting requirements.
- How can I tell if a TSUBAKI BB freewheel will work on my machine?
- Compare the mounting dimensions, the required torque and the operating speed. The direction of rotation and the fastening type also matter. If you share your equipment data, we can help you verify compatibility.
- What lubrication does a freewheel in this series require?
- Lubrication depends on the seal type and working conditions such as dust, humidity or temperature. In general, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific model. Ask us about the code you need and we will guide you.
