Tsubaki TFS freewheels are one-way mechanisms: they drive in one rotation direction and release in the other. Typical jobs include stopping shaft backrun, acting as a holdback on inclined conveyors and indexing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you match the size to your application.
The TFS code works simply: the letters identify the series, and the number that follows gives the construction size. Sizes are ordered from smallest to largest by that number. When you send a quote request, the full code is usually enough for us to pinpoint the variant and confirm the mounting configuration.
You will find TFS freewheels on inclined belt conveyors, bucket elevators, loading and unloading belts, and any drive where reverse rotation must be blocked. They also serve indexing systems, rotary tables and packaging equipment. Depending on how they are mounted, they act as a holdback or as a one-way transmission in food, cement, mining and material handling plants.
Selection comes down to four variables: direction of rotation, transmission torque, working speed and how the unit mounts on the shaft. Installation needs clean surfaces, proper alignment and lubrication suited to the environment. In dusty or damp areas, look at the sealing and the grease type. If the unit is misaligned, the locking elements wear faster.
Freewheels are interchangeable between brands by code, construction type and mounting dimensions, not by a universal table. Before replacing a unit, compare shaft diameter, direction of rotation and torque capacity. Those variables point to the equivalent. We can help you work through that comparison using your equipment data.
Send the freewheel code by WhatsApp, along with the direction of rotation and shaft diameter. With that information we identify the TFS variant and reply promptly. If the code does not match a size in the series, write to us anyway and we will review alternatives in the power transmission line.

Frequently asked questions
- What does a Tsubaki TFS series freewheel do?
- It transmits torque in one direction and releases in the other. Common uses are preventing backrunning, holding inclined conveyors and indexing. The TFS code plus a number identifies the size.
- How do I choose the TFS freewheel size?
- Define transmission torque, working speed, shaft diameter and direction of rotation. With those data the right TFS size can be selected. If you are missing something, contact us by WhatsApp.
- What mounting care does a freewheel need?
- Clean surfaces, correct alignment and lubrication matched to the environment. In dusty or wet conditions, evaluate the sealing. Misalignment speeds up wear of the locking elements.
