KHK USA Inc. announces new Line of Ratchets & Pawls
KHK® ratchets & pawls restrict the rotational direction of motion
When designing a motion application, there are times when you want to prevent reverse rotation of the drive shaft. Use of a KHK® stock ratchet and pawl will allow for rotation in one direction but will halt rotation in the opposite direction. KHK® Ratchet gears are produced in six tooth sizes to resist torque loads from 3 Nm to 550 Nm.
All of the KHK® ratchets and pawls are made from 1045 carbon steel and feature induction hardened teeth for added durability. The ratchet gears are included in the KHK® J series program where stock bores can be open along with the addition of keyways and sets screws, with production requiring only 3 business days.
