The TSUBAKI BB series freewheel is a one-way transmission component that permits rotation in a single direction while locking the reverse. It is used in drive systems that need backstopping, position holding, or free advance in one direction.
The part number breaks down into meaningful sections. In BB15-1K-K, the 15 indicates the size, the 1 shows the number of rows or channels, the first K refers to the sealing or design type, and the final K denotes a mounting variant. BB25-2K-K differs in size and row count. Always provide the complete part number to ensure the exact variant.
These freewheels suit conveyors, elevators, belts, gearmotor-driven systems, and machines where a shaft must turn freely one way and stay locked the other. They are common in food, cement, steel, and mining plants, as well as in production lines with intermittent or safety movements.
When selecting a freewheel, consider the torque to be transmitted, rotation speed, locking direction, mounting type, and environmental conditions. Sealing protects against dust and moisture, while proper lubrication reduces wear and noise. Shaft alignment and axial play affect performance. During installation, verify that the raceway and rollers are clean and that the freewheel seats correctly.
TSUBAKI BB series freewheels can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, but equivalence is not automatic: mounting dimensions, permissible torque, limiting speed, and sealing type must be compared. A similar part number is not sufficient. For replacement, identify the original part number and consult a specialist.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the freewheel I need?
- Check for a part number on the part or equipment plate. If it is not visible, measure the inner diameter, outer diameter, and width, and note the rotation direction. With that information, we can help you find the correct variant.
- What does the K suffix in the designation mean?
- The K suffix indicates a specific design or mounting characteristic of the series. To know exactly what it represents for your model, consult us with the complete part number, as it can vary by size and configuration.
- Can it be replaced by a freewheel from another brand?
- Yes, provided that mounting dimensions, permissible torque, limiting speed, and sealing type match. Do not rely solely on the part number; compare the technical specifications. If you have doubts, send us the data and we will advise you.
