TSUBAKI BR-HT series freewheels are mechanical components that permit rotation in one direction and lock it in the opposite direction. They serve as backstops, indexing devices, and protection against unwanted reversal in power transmission systems. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these freewheels to customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America, and can help you select the correct model for your application.
The BR-HT series uses a code that defines size and mounting configuration. The number after BR indicates the size, HT identifies the family, and the R suffix with its final number specifies the mounting type and housing arrangement. Examples include BR15HT-R31A, BR18HT-R38A for smaller sizes, and BR180HT-R240A, BR190HT-R260A for larger capacities. Always refer to the complete code when ordering or replacing a freewheel.
Typical applications include backstop control on inclined conveyors and bucket elevators, indexing in packaging and textile machinery, and reversal protection in gearboxes, presses, fans, and pumps. In industries such as food processing, cement, steel, and material handling, these freewheels help prevent damage from accidental reverse motion.
Selecting a freewheel requires evaluating the torque to be transmitted, rotational speed, locking direction, and available mounting space. Proper sealing and lubrication are essential for reliable operation; maintain cleanliness and use the lubricant specified for the operating temperature. Careful alignment between shaft and housing minimizes side loads. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions and check clearances before startup.
When replacing a freewheel, compare mounting dimensions, permissible torque, limiting speed, and rotation direction. Similar codes do not automatically mean interchangeability. If you have the complete code or the equipment data, our team can help identify a suitable replacement or equivalent. Contact us by WhatsApp or email with your part number or dimensions, and we will respond promptly with a quotation and technical guidance.
