The SRT series of ratchet gears and pawls from KHK USA Inc. limit rotational motion to one direction.
Key features of the ratchets and pawls include:
- halts rotation in opposite direction
- made from 1045 carbon steel
- induction hardened teeth for durability
- gears resist torque loads from 3-550 Nm.
Durably Designed for Motion Applications
According to KHK, the SRT series of ratchets and pawls are suited for the times when a motion application wants to prevent revers rotation of the drive shaft. Use of the ratchet and pawl enables rotation to occur in one direction, but halts it in the opposite direction.
The ratchet gears are produced in six tooth sizes — 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90 and 100 — and enable the devices to resist torque loads from 3-550 Nm. Multiple bore sizes are available to help meet specific application requirements.
Both the ratchets and pawls are made from 1045 carbon steel and include harded teeth to ensure durability for use in a range of applications.
